Greene’s longtime manager and friend, Edwards, confirmed his death the following day. He recalled his final conversation with the late actor in an interview with New York Post.
“He sounded okay … It was just a totally normal conversation,” Edwards explained, noting that they had spoken on December 10 to discuss a surgery that Greene had scheduled. “He was a little nervous about the operation going in, but he said it wasn’t super serious. … He was talking about that and hoping that I was going to be okay and wishing me well as I was wishing him well.”
