With his wife and a family friend present, he committed assisted suicide.Davis was referred to as "the first heterosexual actor to die of AIDS," although he reportedly was bisexual, a claim disputed by his wife in her book. ) (1949-1991); Lori Singer, actress (Footloose, et al)(1957) and Ethan Hawke , actor, writer and director (1970)
