''...Patrick George Troughton (25 March 1920 – 28 March 1987) was an
English
actor known in his role as the second incarnation of the Doctor in the
long
running British science-fiction television series Doctor Who, which he
played from 1966 until 1969.

''...Death
On March 27, 1987, Troughton was a guest at the Magnum Opus Con II science
fiction convention in Columbus, Georgia. Some attendees later said that
Troughton looked clearly unwell at the time, although he appeared to be in
good spirits throughout the day's panels, and was looking forward to a
belated birthday celebration which was planned for the coming Saturday
evening, as well as a screening of the Doctor Who story The Dominators,
which Troughton had requested personally, on the Saturday afternoon. He
was
also scheduled to appear on stage the following Monday with Doctor Who
producer John Nathan-Turner and Sylvester McCoy, who had been announced as
the Seventh Doctor earlier that month. Jon Pertwee ultimately took the
place
that had been intended for him on the panel.

Troughton suffered a fatal heart attack at 7:25 a.m. the next day (March
28,
1987) just after he had ordered his breakfast from the hotel staff.
According to the paramedics who were called, Troughton had died before he
had fallen back on to his bed...''

My wife and son attended the convention, while I babysat our infant
daughter. Standing around outside the hotel was pretty cool, though, where
I
observed not only Troughton coming and going, but also Deforest Kelley,
George Takai and James Doohan getting into a taxicab.

Takai was familiar with the area, having been here before for the filming
of
''The Green Berets'' in the 1960s.
