Ely did almost all of his stunts. He suffered two dozen major injuries, including two broken shoulders and various lion bites. (ouch)

A remote village in Mexico stood in for an African village in the series. In one instance, Ely taught children how to catch and throw baseballs.

The Tarzan series ran for two seasons (1966-1968) and 57 episodes.

Ely's wife, Valerie Lundeen, who was Ms. Florida 1981, was found stabbed to death in their residence in Santa Barbara, CA. The police were called to the scene for a "family disturbance" and killed a suspect identified as the couple's son, Cameron. An autopsy found that Cameron was suffering from the early stages of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Even watching that trailer you can get an idea of just how dangerous that set could be... wrasslin lions, playing with chimps, riding elephants etc lol

Yeah that deal with his son killing his mom is just nuts, how did he even get CTE?

Anyway, RIP.

Here's what I found on a quick search.

Quote:
30-year-old Cameron Ely, who was 6’5″, weighed 236 pounds, and played football for San Marcos High School and later Harvard University, was suffering from the early stages of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) at the time of his death. His sisters told detectives his behavior had become increasingly “erratic” and “unstable” in the days leading up to their mother’s murder, but no clear motive for the killing was provided. Valerie was stabbed seven times in the chest, back, and right forearm, an autopsy found. Ron, 81, was home at the time and confined to a wheelchair after a recent stroke.

Sounds like San Marcos HS and Harvard had some horrible concussion protocols, he was awfully young to have such extensive damage that he was crazy enough to brutally murder his own mom

Poor Ron having to deal with that at 81 and stuck in a wheelchair

I used to watch this show as a kid growing up. I was able to pull off a pretty good Tarzan yell as well. Not so much any more.
RIP Ron.
