I think he may be one of the bigger roles in that movie to have died? I remember checking and being surprised at how few had died.

It's probably because the majority of the cast were quite young, they hired people in their teens and early twenties to play the teenage characters in the 1950s and just gave them old age makeup for their grown-up 1980s counterparts. So most of them are still in their sixties. :P
