King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss has died aged 59 after a shooting in Texas, police have confirmed.
Joss was the voice of John Redcorn for seasons two through 13 of the popular animated series. He had reportedly recorded bits for the show’s reboot, which recently began production for Hulu and is slated to premiere in August.
The actor was reportedly shot multiple times over the weekend after a disagreement with a neighbor, according to TMZ. San Antonio police responded to a home after reports of shots fired and found Joss near the road with gunshot wounds, according to Variety.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
This was after someone set his house on fire, which killed his 3 dogs. And then someone took one of the skulls and a leash and set it up where they’d be seen. So when Joss and his husband came back and were mourning, THEN his neighbor came out and started shouting slurs at them while waiving a fun around.
But no this was an argument between two equally at fault rational people. Definitely not a homophobic hate crime on the first day of pride month.
He has given completely conflicting answers on this. In one interview he says he was lighting a propane heater for his dogs and may have left it on which led to the house burning down. In another interview he says that he was lighting a fire for warmth. In another interview he said he was using a propane grill to make hot chocolate. So whether or not someone set his house on fire is up in the air, especially when he’s making the claim but the police haven’t said anything about that front at all. He also openly said he likely burned his house down and then said later that someone else did. But, again, police never said anything about that and Joss was showing insanely paranoid tendencies with charging around his lawn with a crossbow and yelling at cars in the street.
Way to leave out a significant event. They came back and “believed the dogs skull was theirs” (which completely conflicts from Joss himself saying that they found all three dogs). Joss then got out a pitchfork and started marching up and down the street, yelling at the top of his lungs. Thats from the husbands own words. Then he got shot.
Like I’ve said elsewhere. This could have all started as a hate crime but there was a lot of weird shit going on in this situation. Blatantly calling this a hate crime from the start without waiting for more answers is jumping to the ending of a narrative you’ve already made. It might be the correct one, dunno. But pretending like you know the answers doesn’t help anyone.
