Like so many of his contemporaries, McGregor's career quickly waned after the changeover to sound and he was reduced to playing second fiddle to Bela Lugosi in the Mascot serial The Whispering Shadow (1932). Retired after playing a gangster in a low-budget screen version of radio's Special Agent K-7 (1937), {McGregor} reportedly died from burns suffered in an accident in his Hollywood home. ~ Hans J.
