"H.I.V. Contributed to Death of Robert Reed, Doctor Says"

New York Times (05/21/92), P. B10

Abstract: Robert Reed, famous for his role as father of "The Brady Bunch," was infected with HIV, which contributed to his death, according to his death certificate. Reed, 59, died a week ago in a Pasedena hospital. His daughter, Karen Baldwin of Wheeling, Ill., said at that time the cause of his death was colon cancer, and did not mention HIV. However, the death certificate shows that while Reed's doctor, H. Rex Greene, listed colon cancer as the immediate cause of death, he also mentioned HIV infection as among "significant conditions contributing to death."
