Lewis Stone

Death Stone died in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, on September 12, 1953, aged 73.

The Associated Press account was published in many newspapers: "The widow, Mrs. Hazel Stone, told police that previously boys had thrown garden furniture in the pool. She said that while her husband was watching a television program last night he heard prowlers outside and went to chase them, although she warned him against exertion.

A photo published in newspapers of the day showed Stone lying on the sidewalk immediately after the incident. The photo was later included in Kenneth Anger's book of scandals titled Hollywood Babylon.

Lewis Stone was later honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6524 Hollywood Blvd.
