9. Dan Blocker Died Before the Show Finished

The beloved middle son, Hoss, was played by the talented Dan Blocker. Unfortunately, Blocker succumbed to a pulmonary embolism during a failed gall bladder surgery. The producers, as a result, found themselves incapable of replacing the gentle giant and so the show went on without him. What’s odd, though, is that fans didn’t get an explanation for Hoss’ death (he drowned trying to save someone’s life) until a TV movie years later.
