The man who wrote 'Streetcar' died by eye-drop cap. 🎭 . . . On February 25, 1983, Tennessee Williams was found dead at 71 in his suite at the Hotel Elysée in New York. The playwright had a habit of holding the plastic cap of his eye-drop bottle between his teeth while tilting his head back. That night the cap slipped down his throat. The Pulitzer winner suffocated on a bit of pharmacy plastic.
