Who was the original Marlboro Cowboy or Marlboro Man? Did he really die of lung cancer?

The charming, rugged and iconic cowboy is the brand character that portraits what the Marlboro cigarettes manifested in their commercials from the 70s.

"Three men who appeared in Marlboro advertisements - Wayne McLaren, David McLean and Dick Hammer - all died of lung cancer, thus earning Marlboro cigarettes, specifically Marlboro Reds, the nickname "Cowboy killers"."

HOWEVER . . .

The first was Darrel Winfield, he is still alive.

Everything I found while googling him makes it sound like he is alive. Do you have a link about his death?

no, I don't think he is dead everywhere I look says he is still alive as well.I did hear on the radio, something about all of this one of them died but it wasn't of lung cancer it was mouth cancer. The guy never smoked a cigarette only held one in his mouth for pics and things.This is why I didn't keep it on this answer though, as I couldn't find resources to back it up. When I find out more I will post here though :)
