Ron Ely lost his wife and son on the same day in a crime with widespread media coverage
A press release reported the death of actor Ron Ely at the age of 86. The death occurred on September 29, but only now her daughter Kirsten has decided to make it public. The cause was not disclosed.
The artist became famous in the late 1960s when he played Tarzan in the NBC series. She also worked as a host for some editions of Miss America.
Handsome, tall (1.93m) and athletic, he has played other powerful man roles in film and TV. He retired from acting about 20 years ago. He devoted himself to writing books.
In October 2019, Ron experienced a family misfortune. His son, Cameron, stabbed to death his mother, Valerie, to whom the actor had been married for 35 years. The boy called the police and tried to blame the murder on his father.
When the police arrived at the family villa, they discovered the truth. When questioned, the young man, 30, pretended to have a gun and died with 24 gunshots while resisting arrest.
A year later, the former heartthrob filed a lawsuit against the officers who responded to the incident. He claimed that they acted incorrectly when they approached Cameron and even accused them of medical negligence towards Valerie. Ron Ely spent the last years of his life tormented by tragedy and away from the media.
