Joe Flynn is probably best known to most as Captain Binghamton on the 60s TV sitcom McHales's Navy. He was found drowned in his swimming pool on July 19, 1974, a few months prior to turning 50. He may have been the victim of a heart attack. Further, he was wearing a cast over a broken leg, and his body, which was discovered on the bottom of the pool, was weighed down by the waterlogged cast.

Family members were vocal over his death, and doubts about "natural causes" or an "accident" may have arisen due to Flynn's vocal involvement in the "equitable" distribution of residuals from television shows. Investigators, however, found no evidence of foul play. If you would like to do some further reading, you'll find a link below to get you started.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
