‘Leave It to Beaver’ actor Tony Dow still alive, in hospice care, despite statement announcing death
TMZ reported that Dow’s wife, Lauren, believed her husband was dead and told his manager, which led to the statement being posted to his official Facebook page. The post has since been deleted.
Dow, though, is under hospice care, and his son, Christopher, told Fox News that his father does not have much time left.
“This is a difficult time,” Christopher Dow said. “Yes he is still alive but in his last hours. Under hospice care.”
