Plot of the Reelz documentary
According to the synopsis for Autopsy: The Last Hours of Dean Martin, 50 years in the limelight took its toll on the popular entertainer. Martin chain-smoked his entire life and was a drinking man. He even used alcohol as a prop for his convincing “drunk” stage persona.
However, in 1987, Dean Martin’s life began to unravel, as his alcohol intake spiraled out of control. The entertainment also became dependent on opioid painkillers, which makes for a deadly combination. Martin died at the age of 78 of respiratory arrest. He had developed emphysema, and later lung cancer, from a lifetime of smoking.
While his unhealthy way of living likely caused his death, forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Hunter doesn’t believe this is the whole story. He decided to delve into Dean Martin’s medical records to find out if there was, in fact, something else happening in Martin’s body. Possibly something else may have contributed to his eventual death.
