CARY GRANT was one of Hollywood's first definitive leading men, but the actor had far more tragic beginnings than many know.

Despite this, he was known to constantly recognise how much it had helped him and even marked the doctor who had facilitated his therapy as a beneficiary to part of his will. While his career was thriving, Grant was still suffering from the years of childhood trauma he had experienced and struggling to combine the existence of Archie Leach with his life as Cary Grant.

In some cases, surgical procedures may be required to remove blood clots. Reports at the time also addressed the star’s death, which occurred due to a “massive stroke”. Despite Grant’s stroke being called “unpredictable” back in the 1950s, the star became known for experimenting heavily with drugs, specifically LSD. Regular brain scans will also be done in order to monitor how effectively treatment is going. Otherwise known as a mini-stroke, this condition can last up to 24 hours. “He was chipper, in fact. Although this cannot be proven, there is research to show that drug abuse carries a high risk of blood clotting, which is one of the main causes of stroke. Claiming that the drug helped to give him a “rebirth” after a traumatic childhood and various failed relationships, it is possible that the years he spent using the drug put him at risk of stroke.
