Yes sara he did die as the curtains came down and everyone thought it was part of his act and clapped..........he actually died smiling. Can't think of one who was found dead.

Sid James was a much loved actor form the Carry On films who died in his dressing room during a show in Sunderland in 1976.

Sid died of a heart attack onstage. His dressing room is supposed to be haunted by him. Les Dawson saw him at one time and refused to speak about it ever again.
