Director Bob Clark killed by drunk driver.

Bob Clark, who directed the Sherlock Holmes/Jack the Ripper film 'Murder By Decree', was killed yesterday, (4-4-2007) along with his son when they were hit head on by a drunk driver named Hector Valasquez-Nava. The drunk idiot and his passenger were treated for only minor injuries.

R.I.P. to Bob and his son. Very sad. I'll not forget it. I was watching Murder By Decree for the very first time last night at around 1:00 AM. I don't usually have an interest in films about killers, but I've wanted to know more about the Jack The Ripper story for some time due to the setting, time period, etc. So, I decided on Murder By Decree as the film to order online and watch. I was not disappointed. I was just right now looking around online about the film and the theories and whatnot and heard about Bob Clark's death. He did a real nice job with the film, it wasn't real gory and it had good atmosphere and great actors. Even though the theory advanced isn't as popular now as it was in the 1970's when the film was made, it was very interesting and informative to watch. May both Bob and his son R.I.P.
