Just because-
Flowers were laid on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame star dedicated to the 124 Munchkin actors, after Raabe died in Florida on Friday, aged 94.
Playing the coroner, he was one of nine Munchkins to have had a speaking part in Oz, pronouncing the Wicked Witch of the East "most sincerely dead".
The actor, who was 1.37m tall, was one of the last surviving Munchkins.
When the troupe's star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame was unveiled in 2007, there were only seven left - most in their 80s and 90s.
Raabe attended the ceremony, dressed in a huge hat with a rolled brim, as seen in the film.
He delighted fans by reciting his most famous line: "As coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her. And she's not only merely dead. She's really most sincerely dead."
The actor's caregiver, Cindy Bosnyak, said he died in hospital on Friday.
