The 30-year-old girlfriend of actor Max Baer Jr. has died in what appears to be a suicide. Chere Rhodes apparently shot herself last week and died several days later, according to police in Douglas County, Nev. Baer, who is now 70, played the role of Jethro on the 1960s "Beverly Hillbillies" TV sitcom.
Baer is the one who found Rhodes with a single gunshot wound to the chest and summoned police to his Lake Tahoe home on Thursday, Jan. 24. No foul play is suspected. "She was conscious on the scene and told (officers) that it was a self-attempted suicide," Douglas County Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Halsey said. "There was a suicide note as well, which substantiated her statement." The handwritten note cited "relationship problems." Rhodes was flown to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno and placed on life support. Her family took her off the life support on Sunday.
