David Cassidy, pop culture idol of the 1970s, has died as a result of complications from dementia. The musician and actor was 67.
His publicist JoAnn Geffen confirmed his death.
Cassidy announced his diagnosis with dementia in early 2017, and reports indicate he died as a result of organ failure. He performed at the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York in March, talking about his dementia, and said his arthritis made playing guitar an ordeal."

I remember my sister being into him as a kid. Loved the Partridge Family

The Partridge Family was pretty funny for a "Brady Bunch" type of show. David Cassidy and Danny Bonaduce had great chemistry and were a funny comedic duo.
For some reason, I don't like a world without David Cassidy.
Get Happy!

Don't forget the guy who played Reuben Kincaid. They actually generated had some real laughs on that show.
RIP.
Mr Kincaid and Danny and their battles, and who did have a crush on Lori Partridge?
RIP Mr. Cassidy.
That being said, R.I.P as 67 is much too young! My fondest childhood memories with my family was gathering around the TV on Friday nights after dinner so we can watch The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family and Love American Style. And David Cassidy was a big part of that!! We will miss him.

suggested the cause of death is Dementia when all of the reports I've read since the news broke down here in Florida some 5 days ago was that he was having organ failure
Maybe the dementia was a form that caused his body to shut down? Must have been aggressive since he only had it a couple of years.

My youth. He brought the shag haircut into vogue which was sort of the hip cousin to the eventual mullet.

Agree, Reuben Kincaid, the agent, was great. Susan Dey also had good chemistry with them. Those 4 clicked.
I was too young to watch that in its first run, but I did love the Partrige Family and Brady Bunch in reruns later in the 70s.

You are correct Short. I looked forward to Friday nights as a kid- Bray Bunch and Partridge Family. Second Partridge Family member to pass- Suzanne Crowe passed last year I think. RIP David Cassidy.

May he finally be at peace.
My grandfather on my Mom's side died at 61 "from dementia" when his organs began to shut down. I was a teen-ager but I remember Mom saying the doctors told her then that her Dad had the internal organs of a 90-year-old.
That was the life of a lot of Pennsylvania railroad workers who were in the service during WW2. Guy smoked non-filter Camels and probably drank a fifth of whiskey a day, if not more on the days he'd go to the Moose to play cards with his boys.
Don't underestimate the long-term effects of alcohol on the body of a severe user/abuser of the stuff.

Malcolm Young as well same age range, younger.
His father, Jack,a lead in the show, was one of the most talented actors and singers ever to appear on a broadway stage, a booming baritone. He was also extremely charismatic -- he came on stage and you couldn't take your eyes off him. Sad he died in a fire in his apartment. Jack liked his drink and sometimes the cast would talk with him at Joe Allen's, the go-to after show bar/restaurant for many of the performers.
Sad, always.
He was a total drunk and a prick...
Hope he finds peace
