WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT he Die, How the Heck Did he Die, Come on Details Details
Oh wait I found it
Newman was scheduled to make his professional stage directing debut with the Westport Country Playhouse's 2008 production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, but he stepped down on May 23, 2008, citing health issues.
In June 2008 it was widely reported that Newman, a former chain smoker, had been diagnosed with lung cancer and was receiving treatment at Sloan-Kettering hospital in New York City. Photographs taken of Newman in May and June showed him looking gaunt. Writer A.E. Hotchner, who partnered Newman to start Newman's Own salad dressing company in the 1980s, was quoted as saying that Newman told him about the disease about 18 months ago. Newman's spokesman told the press that the star is "doing nicely," but neither confirmed nor denied that he had cancer. In August, Newman reportedly had finished chemotherapy and told his family he wished to die at home. He did so on September 26, 2008 aged 83, surrounded by his family and close friends. His daughter Nell Newman is poised to take over Newman's Own.
