Yes, he died in LA. His obit doesn't mention anything about his place of birth and he was only in Iowa as a child as the family moved early on. That much I do know. All bio's on him simply reads born in Iowa but doesn't state where. I am curious because I have a distant aunt I believe was married to him at one point. She came from Iowa as well, the same age, moved to Los Angeles county in the 1930s and is buried as O'Donnell but in a different cemetery and of course, no husband next to her. Her name was Claretta but she died in the 1980s and it showed his wife named Dolores at the time of his death in 1992.

You might write Woodland Hills to see if they have something on file for a hometown. Or you can write the Los Angles Times to see what they have in his Obit. Or you can go to your local library and ask if where they could find a LA times on Microfiche that you can order to make a copy off. Make to have his death date. I am guessing that he died in LA. This might cost a small fee to order the Microfiche, $5 or less depending on the library.
