Thomas Frederick Cooper was born on 19 March 1921 at 19-On Street in Caerphilly. He was delivered by the woman who owned the house in which the family were lodging. His parents were Thomas H. Cooper, a welsh recruiting sergeant in the British army and later coal miner, and Catherine Gertrude.After school, Cooper became a shipwright in Southampton. In 1940, he was called up as a trooper in the royal horse guards, serving for seven years. He joined Montgomery's desert rats in Egypt. Cooper became a member of a navy, army and air force institutes entertainment party and developed an act around his magic tricks interspersed with comedy. One evening in Cairo, during a sketch in which he was supposed to be in a costume that required a pith helmet, having forgotten the prop, Cooper reached out and borrowed a fez from a passing waiter, which got huge laughs. He wore a fez whenever performing after that, the prop later being described as "an icon of 20th-century comedy".On 15 April 1984, Cooper collapsed from a heart attack in front of millions of television viewers, midway through his act on the London Weekend Television variety show Live From Her Majesty's , transmitted live from Her Majesty's Theatre in Westminster, London.
An assistant had helped him put on a cloak for his sketch, while jimmy Tarbuck, the host, was hiding behind the curtain waiting to pass him different props that he would then appear to pull from inside his gown. The assistant smiled at him as he slumped down, believing that it was a part of the act. Likewise, the audience gave "uproarious" laughter as he fell backwards, gasping for air.Tarbuck's manager tried to pull Cooper back through the curtains.The video of Tommy Cooper suffering the fatal heart attack on stage has been uploaded to numerous video sharing website websites. youtube drew criticism from a number of sources when footage of the incident was posted on the website in May 2009.On 28 December 2011 segments of the Live From Her Majesty's clip, including Cooper collapsing on stage.
He was died live on stage and audience thinks that it was the part of the show....
