Possible inaccuracy on death section

[edit]

I apologize in advance if this is the incorrect way to reply to you but I have not grasped the concept of making replies on talk pages.

This reply is about a question from 2019 regarding a technical aspect of an explosion that was referred to in an edit. I only noticed it because of a notification I received regarding a June 2021 edit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jeffrey_Hunter

Under the section about Jeffrey Hunter's death: "Hunter was injured in an on-set explosion when a car window near him, which had been rigged to explode outward, accidentally exploded inward."

Khatores asked about the source material. I saw no replies to the question which is why I chose to answer it here. Again, I apologize if it is the wrong place to do it. Khatores said: This is unclear. Was Mr. Hunter standing near the car and it exploded, as in a car bomb? In that case the window should explode outward. A window would only explode inward if it were affected by an explosion on the outside. Did the original author get the information correct from the source material?

As the statement says, the window was rigged to explode outward and it accidentally exploded inward. It was a fluke, a failed stunt.

As for where the statement came from, the original was on page 100 in the 2003 book by Michael Ferguson titled: Idol Worship.

ISBN info - Ferguson, Michael (2003). Idol Worship: A Shameless Celebration of Male Beauty in the Movies. Michael. p. 100. ISBN 1-891-85548-4.

It was also copied to a wikiwand post: [1]

The statement was repeated in this 2015 blog entry: [2]

and used again in May 2020 https://www.facebook.com/HollywoodPageOfDeath/posts/jeffrey-hunter-november-25-1926-may-27-1969-was-a-film-and-television-actor-and-/3013831515405111/

Perhaps the reference link should have been the book by Michael Ferguson, but I have been warned in the past about using ISBN links especially on Amazon because it could be misconstrued as a profit link. This is one of the reasons why I stopped contributing to this site because I can't seem to do anything right nor respond in the proper way using talk pages, etc.

Death section

[edit]

What I don’t understand is why there’s a paragraph about an accident he had 6 months before his death that doesn’t seem to relate to the fall that killed him. 2601:645:8100:510:1129:406B:67FC:EDDA (talk) 18:25, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It started a brain bleed, undiagnosed, that led to his later fall. Madelinedelon (talk) 02:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
