In the early hours of June 16, 1959, Reeves, Lemmon, and their houseguest Robert Condon were retired to their respective bedrooms when two friends, William Bliss and Carol Von Ronkel, stopped by Superman’s home in Benedict Canyon, which had a reputation of being a party house. However, in no mood to party, Reeves got into an argument with the loud, unexpected house guests, which awoke Lemmon and Condon. The group shared a drink before Reeves once again retired to his upstairs bedroom.
According to the party guests, Lemmon stated “He’s going to shoot himself,” as Reeves went upstairs. When a noise was heard through the ceiling, Lemmon continued, “He’s opening a drawer to get the gun.” Finally, when a gunshot rang throughout the house, Lemmon exclaimed, “See there — I told you!” George Reeves was later discovered in his bedroom, completely naked, and with a fatal gunshot wound to the right temple.
