The new Classified Cobra Commander had me thinking about how to this day, nobody really knows how or why Chris Latta, Cobra Commander's voice actor in the Sunbow cartoons died, despite that he was a very big deal in cartoon voice acting in the 80's and early 90's, playing Mr. Burns and Moe the Bartender in the first Season of the Simpsons.
>everything on his death is very secretive as if it's deliberately hidden, with several sites saying he died from cocaine, while his family has supposedly suggested he died of throat cancer. His official cause of death is a brain hemorrhage, or stroke, with some saying a massive heart attack. Dan Gilvezan, who played Beach Head in the cartoon said:
>"Chris Latta was an incredibly talented guy. He also had some demons going on with him, and I think that's probably contributed to his early demise. He was a really, really sweet guy- hugely talented, a lot of energy. But it was clear that there was something in the background with Chris that... that wasn't gonna' let him come to fruition, I think. You know I'm looking back, it's easy to say that now, but... you got that feeling with Chris. It's like 'boy, this boy's headed for the cliff, you know?'"A bio found here dances around his cocaine use and tries to shutdown the claim that he died from a drug overdose, saying:
>"He also admitted to his wife he used cocaine as a means to ease the pain, but never did it at the house, as to not disrespect the home, or her, or Ben(his son)."https://forums.toynewsi.com/forums/topic/1931045-chris-latta-the-man-behind-cobra-commander/Here it also says there's a lot more to his death, which the voice actors from Transformers and GI Joe all know, but for some reason are keeping a secret:
