00:00We're coming on the air to let you know that a true American original has left us.
00:04Dick Clark has died at the age of 82.
00:07The man who for so many years was called the world's oldest teenager.
00:11Dick Clark changed TV forever with his American bandstand.
00:17He was my idol.
00:20And not a day went by that I missed American bandstand.
00:25His relaxed, honest style won him the hearts of a nation.
00:30Well, mark this spot on your dial.
00:32Dick was one of the funniest, most interesting, and one of the most intelligent human beings I've ever known.
00:39He built a TV empire that's valued today at over a billion dollars.
00:44Virtually everything that he touched turned to gold.
00:47He was very, very successful.
00:49But behind the scenes, he was battling to recover from a devastating condition.
00:54He fought very, very hard to regain what he'd lost.
00:58But it was a very tough battle.
01:01On April 18, 2012, after 50 years on network television,
01:08Dick Clark died suddenly after a routine operation.
01:12Dick Clark's death certificate states he died from an acute myocardial infarction, or heart attack, following an operation.
01:22Now, at 82, any operation can be risky,
01:25but Dick was undergoing a very routine procedure to reduce and enlarge prostate,
01:30which rarely results in complications.
01:34Added to this, prior to his procedure, Dick appeared to be in relatively good health.
01:39So I need to unlock the mystery of what really caused Dick Clark's heart to suddenly fail.
01:45Dick Clark was about to容so death Leggings from Montgomery Brombeckize then to be in샵 X and a drink.
