Who Erased Jack Nance?


Jack Nance
"We all have strange things about us."

He was known for his work particularly for his starring roles in Eraserhead , and Twin Peaks. 
Born Marvin John Nance on December 21, 1943, in Boston Massachusetts.

His wife, Kelly Jean Van Dyke daughter of Jerry Van Dyke, and niece to Dick Van Dyke, committed suicide on November 17, 1991.
Nance, who was in Bass Lake, California, filming Meatballs 4 at the time, attempted to console her on the phone as she threatened suicide. 
Then a lightning storm knocked out the phones in Bass Lake, Nance and the director, Bobby Logan, found a deputy sheriff who contacted Los Angeles police and the apartment manager. 
They broke in and found that she had hung herself.

On December 30, 1996, Nance died in South Pasadena, California, under mysterious circumstances. 
The day before, he lunched with friends Leo Bulgarini and Catherine Case.
He had a visible "crescent shaped bruise" under his eye.
When asked about it, he told them the story about a brawl outside a Winchell's Donuts store on the morning earlier that morning.
He described the incident as, "I told off some kid. I guess I got what I deserved."
He soon went home, complaining of a headache.
The injuries he received caused a subdural hematoma.
This means that he had brain trauma, swelling in his brain that caused pressure and damaged the brain tissue.

This resulted in his death the following morning. 
He died alone in his apartment.
His body was discovered on the bathroom floor by Bulgarini.
An autopsy revealed that the actor's blood alcohol level was 0.24% at the time of his death.
That means he was a little buzzed.
The song "I Gotta Move" by Frank Black and the Catholics, refers to the circumstances of Nance's death, as well as the murder of Peter Ivers.
Why did He get into a fight before 6.a.m. in a doughnut shop?
Who killed Jack Nance?
