You Are Not Dead, Yet.

William Laurence was an accountant and part time entertainer as a circus clown.

He performed at birthday parties, on the street, and in the subway. He wanted to restore honor to clowns and rid them of their creepy reputation.

After repeated complaints and criminal charges he was legally forbidden to dress as a clown.

When he died many years later, he was buried in his clown costume and makeup.

William is dead.
