It sounds as though he has at last found peace. RIP Peter.

Re: RIP Peter "Columbo" Falk
How sad to hear this as he was magnificent in his role as Columbo and his tv work will always be there on film.

RIP Peter Falk I think he had also been suffering dementia for a while sadly.

Re: RIP Peter "Columbo" Falk
'Columbo' was one of the best detective series on Tv and survived the cutthroat 'seasons' in American shows, and that was because of the way Peter Falk, played him.
To my knowledge there were some american cop shows that came and went, but Columbo always survived. RIP Peter

Re: RIP Peter "Columbo" Falk
Never was a columbo fan but he also made some good films..
As for his eye it wasn't wonky it was missing as he lost it at the age of three.. Many don't know he was also great at comedy.. Was just reading his wiki page and this made me laugh about his playing baseball.. "I remember once in high school the umpire called me out at third base when I was sure I was safe. I got so mad I took out my glass eye, handed it to him and said, 'Try this.' I got such a laugh you wouldn't believe."
RIP Peter
