The director-cum-writer well known for his clever dialogues, poignancy and for his most highly admired work in "Breakfast at Tiffany's," ''10" and the "Pink Panther," Blake Edwards died at the age of 88.Edwards was suffering from pneumonia and its related complications contributing to his death as he passed away at about 22.30 this Wednesday at St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, according to his publicist Gene Schwam. He had been already admitted to the hospital about two weeks before the incident, hence his wife, Julie Andrews along with his other family members all were surrounding him.
Schwam also reminded that Edwards had been having several knee problems in the past, and had gone through several unsuccessful surgical procedures already and was "pretty much confined to a wheelchair for the last year-and-a-half or two.” That may have possibly contributed to his death, he added.
