Eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes dies aboard a Learjet on the way to his native Houston, Texas. He was 70.
Hughes has not been seen in public since 1961, and since 1966 he has been living in the Desert Inn in Las Vegas, Nevada, and almost never leaving.
Due to his constant seclusion, he is unrecognizable in death: his hair, beard, and fingernails are long, and he weighs only 90 pounds (41kg), despite being 6’4” (193cm). He is covered in bedsores and his arms are covered in track marks from injecting himself with codeine constantly. The hospital has to use fingerprints to be sure that it is, indeed, Hughes.
