R.I.P. Herbert 'Cowboy' Coward

Post by Big Magilla »

From USA Today:

Herbert Coward, who played the role of "Toothless Man" in the movie "Deliverance" died in a car crash in western North Carolina this week, state officials said. The actor was 85.

The fatal two-vehicle wreck Wednesday took place after Coward pulled out onto U.S. Route 19 in front of a truck, North Carolina Highway Patrol Sgt. M.J. Owens confirmed to USA TODAY Thursday night.

The crash occurred after Coward, and his 78-year-old girlfriend Bertha Brooks, left a doctor's appointment, according to The Associated Press.

Brooks, a Chihuahua and pet squirrel inside the car, also died in the crash, the outlet reported.

Coward, who lived in Haywood County, was "famous locally for having a pet squirrel" Owens told The Associated Press.
