Everyone is sad about the death of Ron Ely, the beloved actor who played the famous jungle hero “Tarzan” on the 1960s TV show. Ely died quietly at the age of 86, with his family and friends by his side.
Kirsten, his daughter, wrote a touching tribute to him on Instagram. She called him a “hero” and a “mentor” whose life was full of courage, perseverance, and loyalty. She remembered how he could bring happiness to everyone he met.
