Weird Episode: Season 3 Episode 30, The Caller

I just watched a good episode on Youtube, "the Caller". A man, Albert Turbo, (Harry Belaver of "Naked City" fame) calls Diamond and says he's going to kill him the following day. Al blames Diamond for the death of his son.Al chases and finally catches up to Diamond at the end of show. Al is just about to shoot him when he falls over and dies of a heart attack D. I've never seen an ending like that before, where the hero is saved by a villain suddenly dying of a heart attack. What is weird is that David Janssen died suddenly of a heart attack 20 years later in 1980, at the age of 48. Strange coincidence.

The actor who played turbo was also in Johnny Angel with George Raft. Janssen's death at age 48 from a heart attack was an incredible loss; he was a great actor and a good man.
