Evidently there was no "death" clause in his contract. He signed up
for 100,000 spots and they are getting their 100,000 spots.
I bet his wife doesn't mind since she's getting his residuals checks,
his kids will now have a nice fat college fund. He's not around to
spend any of it on cocaine.
I hope you are right and that is the way the contract was written.
It's not a function of the contract, I think it's AFTRA or another of
the rights organizations. It's like mechanical royalties on records,
automatic.
