Page "John Candy" Paragraph 14

In 1994, while filming Wagons East!

on location in Durango, Mexico, Candy called his friends, including Canadian Football League commissioner Larry Smith, and told them that he had just let go of his team and was putting it up for sale.

He then called his assistant, who invited him to play golf with him in the spring when he came back to Toronto.

After cooking a late lasagna dinner for his assistants, Candy called his co-stars from his hotel, then went to sleep.

After midnight, on March 4, 1994, Candy died in his sleep from a heart attack at age 43.

In Pocahontas, he was going to voice a turkey named Redfeather.

However, after his death, his character and dialogue were deleted.
