In 2013, they said he was "days away" from dying. DAYS AWAY. Apparently, Death showed up at his house. Burt sat down and poured Death a stiff drink and started telling him how this reminded him of the time he auditioned for John Boorman in 1970, when he was casting for Deliverance. It must be a great story, because Death got up, wished Burt a good day, finished his drink in one sip and left. True story.
