Sad day for film fans and a sad day for Phillip Morris stockholders.

Do you think the LA wildfires and poor air quality accelerated his death? He had emfysemia

Probably didn't help, but the man had been smoking since he was 8 years old and was at the point where he needed supplemental oxygen just to walk.

I would guess it probably triggered a crisis. He did an interview last year? where he talked about how bad his health was and his smoking. I read he had to be evacuated but I'm not certain it's true. That would have been a major stressor on him.
