Blocker died on May 13, 1972, at the age of 43, of a pulmonary embolism following gallbladder surgery at Daniel Freeman Hospital in Los Angeles.

According to a news report, “Blocker went into the hospital for gall bladder surgery, developed a blood clot in his lung, and died.”

That autumn, the writers of Bonanza took the unusual step of referencing a major character’s death in the show’s storyline.

According to a 2011 report, “this would be the first time in television history that a show dealt with, or even mentioned, the death of one of its characters.”

Specifics of the death were not discussed in the series, but a character in a subsequent series, Bonanza: The Next Generation, stated that “Hoss drowned trying to save another’s life.”

Without Hoss, Bonanza lasted another season, and the 14th and final season ended on January 16, 1973. “By far the least popular and least requested season in the show’s rerun package,” according to the press release.

Blocker’s ashes were interred in a family plot in De Kalb, Texas’ Woodmen Cemetery. A plain stone with the name “B. Dan D. Blocker” engraved marks the common grave site; three family members are buried beside him – his father, mother, and sister.
