While singing his most famous song 'Tiptoe Through the Tulips' at a Gala Benefit at The Woman's Club of Minneapolis Tim suffered a heart attack on stage. He was led out by his wife Susan Marie Gardner who asked him if he was okay. Tim responded, "No, I'm not!" Those were to be his final words. Tim collapsed shortly thereafter and was rushed to the hospital where he died after doctors tried to resuscitate him for one hour and fifteen minutes.

BirthFactDeath (-) Wednesday 11th of April 2007 17 years ago He Said Howdy
Double murderer James Lee Clark is executed by lethal injection at the age of 39 in Huntsville Prison, 815 12th Street, Huntsville, Texas, United States. Clark's last word was “Howdy". On the day of Clark's execution, the Steinway piano that John Lennon used to compose the 1971 song 'Imagine' was placed outside the front door of the prison as a protest to the execution, a sign of peace and statement that there is too much violence in the world.
