Screen Actors Guild Won't Investigate Jeff Chandler's Death

HOLLYWOOD (A) - The Screen Actors Guild says it won't investigate the death of actor Jeff Chandler.

Such an inquiry, it said Monday, would serve "no useful purpose."

Chandler, 42, died June 17 in a Culver City hospital after four operations.

The initial surgery was for a slipped spinal disc.

Actors and actresses had petitioned the Guild's board of directors to look into circumstances surrounding Chandler's death.

The directors pledged cooperation with the State Bureau of Hospitals, which recently completed an investigation at the hospital.

Attorney Edward Rose, special administrator of the Chandler estate, is also making an inquiry.

The hospital's board has not released the results of its inquiry.
