Upon leaving, a helicopter collided with a transport plane and the men were killed.
In 1998, at the age of 43 years old, Ricky was alive when on December 19th, the House of Representatives initiated impeachment charges against U.S. President Bill Clinton. He was subsequently acquitted of these charges by the Senate on February 12th.
