Possible inaccuracy on death section

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? Khatores (talk) 07:49, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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

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]
