Shame but not very surprising, very big and very small people seem to always have some health problems plus he had had alcohol issues.
He was actually originally meant to be eaten by the shark in The Spy Who Loved Me but they changed the ending so he could come back.

My Ex used to babysit his kids....she always had nothing but good things to say about him. RIP Mr. Kiel.

I think he was most classic in The Longest Yard. I saw him in an old Elvis movie the other day. I think it was Roustabout where he had a bit part as the strong man.

That he was one of the good guys seems to be the universal chat and not just because he has died I had heard that a few times over the years.
I only mentioned the booze thing because he brought it up himself in a new interview which I heard on the BBC just last week.
