Tom Conway - he drank himself to death

Tom Conway (brother of George Sanders) is one of our favorite actors. He followed two impossible-to-follow acts in a very creditable manner: Basil Rathbone as the radio Sherlock Holmes, and Sanders as The Falcon in the movie series. However, he died of cirrhosis of the liver, flat broke, after having been discovered a couple of years previously in a $2-a-day flophouse in Los Angeles.
