7 Feb 1968: Nick Adams found dead
Nick Adams was born Nicholas Aloysius Adamshock
On the night of Feb 7, 1968, Nick was supposed to have dinner with Erwin Roeder, his lawyer and friend.
Nick never showed up. Adams was known for his punctuality, so Roeder decided to check the actor's home
himself. He drove to El Roble Lane, and went to Nick's house, at number 2126. When he arrived at Nick's
house, he found Nick's car in the garage, but no sign of life in the house. Roeder broke a window and
discovered Nick dead in his bedroom, propped against a wall, his eyes open in a blank stare. He was
wearing blue jeans, a shirt, and boots. A working telephone was less than two feet away .

This is the house were Nick Adams lived ; 2126 El Roble Lane - Beverly Hills
Dr. Thomas Noguchi performed the autopsy and found paraldehyde "in the organs, mixed with sedatives
and other drugs - enough to cause instant unconsciousness." This is a drug to battle alcoholism, but Nick
was not a known drinker. No prescription bottle was found, and no needle mark could be found on him.
It's still considered a mystery, and officially it was listed as "accidental suicide."
