SUICIDE IS PAINLESS, YET HE DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES: I'm sure in the days ahead, there will be rumors that Allan Arbus, who portrayed M*A*S*H's Dr. Sidney Freeman, was suffocated by a Korean mother in the back of a bus at the behest of Alan Alda. But he died of natural causes at 95. Dr Freeman was o doubt my favorite recurring non-regular character, but he was no doubt responsible for my deep-felt fear of being hypnotized.
