In his later years, he embraced his fame as the Munchkin coroner and made the most of it. His [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MIwzPOWHbw"]big scene[/url] is, to me, one of the film's best and most bizarre baroque touches -- complete with Raabe's absurdly scroll-like hat to match the death certificate he's carrying.
