Tommy Dorsey died accidentally in November 1956, at the age of 51.
He had been under severe stress due to an impending divorce and changes in the music business that were affecting his career. In an effort to get some sleep he took several sleeping pills after having had a lot of food and alcohol at dinner. The combination reacted in his stomach and backed up into his trachea, killing him.
