Did the actor who lost the part for the Tin Woodman in The Wizard of Oz kill himself?

No. Raymond Wallace Bulcao ka Ray Bolger [January 10, 1904-January 15, 1987] originally was scheduled to play the Tin Woodman in the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. He managed to switch parts with Christian Rudolph ka Buddy Ebsen , Jr. [April 2, 1908-July 6, 2003], who originally was scheduled to play the Scarecrow. Ebsen ended up having a serious reaction to the toxic aluminum powder in the make-up for the part of the Tin Woodman. He had to be hospitalized, from the irritation to his skin, and because of the coating of his lungs with the inhaled particles. Ultimately, he recovered, and outlived many from the original film cast of The Wizard of Oz. Even though Ebsen had done nine days' worth of filming before his hospitalization, he lost the role to John Joseph ka Jack Haley, Jr. [August 10, 1898-June 6, 1979]. So Ebsen's involvement with the film ended with his hospitalization. And all of the scenes in which he had been filmed were redone with Haley.

Who was hospitalized during the production of the film in the wizard of oz?

Buddy Ebsen was cast as the Tin Man. However, the make-up for the character contained aluminum dust, which ended up coating Ebsen's lungs. He also had an allergic reaction to it. He had to be rushed to hospital and the part was recast. When Jack Haley took over, the Tin Man make-up had changed from aluminum dust to aluminum paste as one of its components. Buddy Ebsen's vocals do remain in the film ("We're off to see the Wizard"). In the scene when the Wicked Witch of the West leaves Munchkinland, the smoke that was supposed to go around her came early. On the second take, part of Margaret Hamilton's cape got caught in the platform when the fire appeared. Her make-up heated up causing second- and third-degree burns on her hands and face. It was later discovered that one of the components in her make-up was copper.

Who's aluminum dust allergy kept him from playing the tin man?

I believe that would be Buddy Ebsen, who's aluminum dust allergy was almost fatal when playing the Tin Man. Ironically, he outlived most of the cast and crew.
