Grandson of Clark Gable Found Dead at Age 30

[The Last Outlaw]

Clark Gable’s grandson, Clark Gable III, died on Friday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, Variety confirmed with the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office. He was 30.

“It’s is with an extremely heavy heart we say goodbye to my beautiful son Clark,” his mother wrote on Instagram. “He passed this morning. I will always be next to you my beautiful son. Mom.”

His sister Kayley Gable also posted about the death on Facebook, writing, “My brother was found unresponsive this morning by his fiancé and didn’t wake up .. I LOVE YOU CLARKIE I’m so sorry we couldn’t save you my heart is broken and shattered RIP.”

Gable was an aspiring actor who previously hosted several seasons of the reality show Cheaters. Cheaters is a hidden-camera unscripted series about people suspected of committing adultery, which began airing in 2000 and has since filmed 17 seasons. As host, Gable confronted people caught in the act, before delivering the bad news on television.

Watching Cheaters is my guilty pleasure on the weekends.  So to say that I'll miss Clark Gable on the show is like me missing it's long-time host Joey Greco.  This is sad news all the same.  I don't think that tomorrow morning, I'll be able to watch the show the same way.  Rest in Peace, Clark James Gable aka Clark Gable III.  You will be sorely missed.  Clark leaves behind a wife and a daughter.

Wow . I was never familiar with anything he did - but, that's far too young to go.

My condolences go out to his friends and family - and, in particular, to the wife and daughter he leaves behind.

Like I said, @ Kyng I watch the show Cheaters every weekend, but just yesterday, they only aired shows hosted by Joey Greco.  I guess they did it out of respect for the passing of Clark Gable.

I hope foul play was not involved, considering we don't know the actual cause of death yet but, I don't think that would be the case. Rest in peace... too many young people are leaving this world, and it's sad

Can't rule that out, sadly.

RIP Clark Gable.

RIP Clark Gable.  

Which is why I'm waiting to hear what the cause of death was.  Like the Jussie Smollett case, I will reserve my opinion until it all comes out!

Well, it doesn't sound as though foul play was involved. Since he was found 'unresponsive' by his fiancée, it sounds as though he died of natural causes (although an accident - or, worse, suicide - can't be ruled out yet . It's not like we know a whole lot at the moment!)

How terrible to die so young and to leave a fiancé, Mom and other family who loved him.  My sympathies go to his family and friends.

From The New York Daily News

The only grandson of movie legend Clark Gable died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, the same drug that killed Prince, Tom Petty and Mac Miller, officials confirmed Friday.

Clark James Gable III died suddenly on Feb. 22 from “the combined effects of fentanyl, oxycodone and alprazolam," a records custodian with the Dallas County Southwestern Institute of Forensic Science told the Daily News.

“The manner of death is an accident,” she said.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that’s up to 50 times more powerful than heroin. A recent report from the National Center for Health Statistics found it was responsible for 18,335 overdose deaths in 2016, more than any other drug.

The high-profile deaths of former Wilco band member Jay Bennett and rapper Lil Peep also were linked to the drug.

Gable, 30, was the host of the reality TV show Cheaters before his death two months ago at a Dallas hospital.

There we are.  An accidental overdose of fentanyl, oxycodone and alprazolam.  I don't know how, but that's how it happened.
