He and three others were standing on a skylight when it collapsed – killing Mehdi but only injuring the others who fell.

In 1979, Hathaway arrived for a recording session in what seemed to be a confused and delusional state. He was sent home, where it appears that he jumped to his death from the 15th-floor balcony of the hotel he was staying in.
