I recently read an article interview with Lee Meriwether. She was a dear friend to Brian Keith until his death and she said she knows that Brian did not off himself and that it just wasn't in him to do that. She is positive that the gun incident was an accident. Rest in peace Dear Brian ❤🕊

Such a terribly sad ending! Towards the end of his life, he remarked that cancer treatment hurt more than the cancer itself and there was only so much suffering he could reasonably endure. Losing his daughter, Daisy, some two months before only added to his already suffering. Brian Keith was a remarkably talented man whose legancy lives on in our hearts & in our memories!

"Keith's friend Maureen O'Hara did not believe Keith died as a result of suicide. She stated that he had a large gun collection and he might have been cleaning the gun, or looking at it, when it went off accidentally. She had just visited him and said he was in good spirits and would not have committed suicide given his Catholic beliefs."

My favorite Brian Kieth moment was on "A Family Affair". Buffy and Jody, his young niece and nephew, were befriended by some kids in a very poor neighborhood. Uncle Bill (Keith) was a wealthy man, so when he went to the slum to retrieve Buffy and Jody, he was surprised to find them scruffed-up and dirtier than any of the kids who lived in the poor neighborhood! They were so dirty that one of the parents of the poor neighborhood kids (who didn't know Buffy and Jody's uncle was rich) gave Uncle Bill some hand-me-down children's clothes so that he could dress Buffy and Jody better. The LOOK on Uncle Bill's face as he humbly accepted the charity clothing without letting on that he was a wealthy resident of a FAR more upscale neighborhood...
