Suicide
In May 1991, actor Jack Nance married Kelly Jean Van Dyke, who worked in the adult film industry under the name Nancee Kelly.
Kelly Van Dyke-Nance committed suicide by hanging on November 17, 1991.
According to his younger brother Richard Nance, Jack, who was in Bass Lake, California filming Meatballs 4 at the time, attempted to console her on the phone as she threatened suicide. After a lightning storm knocked out the phones in Oregon, it subsequently took over 45 minutes for Nance and the director, Bobby Logan, to find a deputy sheriff, who in turn contacted Los Angeles police and the apartment manager. They broke in and found that the 33-year-old had hanged herself.
