Veteran Hollywood actor Reggie Bannister, who appeared in the horror film series "Phantasm," has died at the age of 80.
On the 10th (local time), according to U.S. outlet TMZ, Reggie Bannister (Reggie Bannister, Reggie Bannister) died early the previous morning at a vacation home in Crestline in the mountainous rent(expense) of San Bernardino County, California. He was 80.
His wife Gigi Bannister told the outlet that "Reggie was happy to be at home in his final moments and died peacefully."
Reggie Bannister suffered from dementia and Parkinson's disease during his lifetime. Gigi Bannister said her husband was exposed to the herbicide (Agent Orange) during his past service in the Vietnam War and later developed Lewy body dementia and Parkinson's disease. Agent Orange is a powerful chemical used to kill weeds and strip foliage that the U.S. military used during the Vietnam War to clear dense jungle and destroy food crops.
In particular, Reggie Bannister's condition reportedly worsened rapidly in recent months, with his limbs becoming stiff and him being virtually unable to move, and his family could not care for him, forcing him to seek a full-time care facility. However, the exact cause of Reggie Bannister's death has not been disclosed.
Meanwhile, the bereaved family said they plan several memorial services for relatives and acquaintances, and will later hold a separate public memorial event for Reggie's fans and fellow musicians.
Meanwhile, Reggie Bannister appeared in a total of five films in the "Phantasm" series from 1979. He also appeared in the films The Quiet Ones, Walking Distance, Bloody Bloody Bible Camp, and Curse of the Dawn: Resurrection of the Evil.
