Unfortunately, Orson Bean died in February 2020 after being hit by two cars, according to TMZ. The publication reported that Bean was "jaywalking" in Venice when he was "clipped" by one vehicle. A second car then hit Bean, causing fatal injuries. Neither driver was charged with any crime or found to be under any kind of influence. "The car coming westbound did not see him and clipped him and he went down," shared LAPD Capt. Brian Wendling to ABC 7. "A second vehicle was coming up, was distracted by people trying to slow him down and then looked up and then a second traffic collision occurred and that one was fatal," he added. Eva Basler Demirjian — Bean's family representative — confirmed his death shortly after, per The Washington Post, which noted that Bean was near Resident Theater, where Alley Mills was rehearsing an upcoming show. 

Bean left behind a legacy just as long and decorated as his wife's. According to IMDb, Bean was best known for his role on "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," and his frequent appearances on "The Tonight Show." Bean left behind his wife and four children, Ezekiel, Susannah, Michele and Max (via The Famous People).
