Clark Gable III, grandson of legendary actor, dead at age 30

This is just sad.


Ex-host of the syndicated TV show "Cheaters" Clark Gable III, the grandson of the legendary actor who he shared his name with, died in Dallas on Friday at the age of 30, Gable's sister announced on social media.

According to TMZ , Gable was found unconscious at his home early Friday morning. He was then transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. He reportedly had no history of health conditions, TMZ said.

"My brother was found unresponsive this morning by his fiancé (sic) and didn’t wake up .. I LOVE YOU CLARKIE I’m so sorry we couldn’t save you my heart is broken and shattered RIP," his sister Kayley Gable wrote.

Gable was briefly the host of the show during the program's 13th and 14th seasons.

He really was a very handsome man. But I wonder if carrying the legacy of his grandfather was more of a burden than he was capable of carrying. Especially if he wanted to be an actor. That's one big pair of shoes to attempt to fill.

I saw his hostings on "Cheaters" many times, and, believe me, he was not cut out to be an actor.
Perhaps his grandfather's name led him into that profession, but I suspect he likely would have led a longer life had he found his own niche and followed that.

RIP.

Advantages that most of everybody else don't have. O.K., I'll stop now.
