05 May 09 Dom DeLuise

Dom DeLuise, the actor, died in his sleep yesterday suffering from kidney failure, and respiratory problems. It is believed that his heart exploded due to his huge size.

He mostly appeared in comic  movie parts, such as The Cannonball Run, and All Dogs Go To Heaven, although he’s perhaps best known for being a regular in many of Mel Brookes movies such as ‘Blazing Saddles’ and ‘Robin Hood: Men in Tights”.

He was also a keen cook, and was an author of several cookbooks.
