“Tony Dow is still alive, but the public was only just now made aware of that fact after hours of mourning. Dow's official management shared a death announcement on Tuesday morning. However, it turned out to be false and was only shared after Dow's wife Lauren misspoke about his health status. Before this clarification occurred, his Leave It to Beaver co-star Jerry Mathers offered a heartbreaking message after learning the now-debunked news. Mathers starred as Theodore "The Beaver" Cleaver on Leave It to Beaver, while Dow played his older brother, Wally. Mathers, 74, and Dow, 77, are the last surviving member of the iconic show's original cast.”
