He probably paid people off and I think that one lawsuit involving one of the Price is Right models was settled out of court.

Because he didn't drug them, because he didn't demand blow jobs "or else." He was old school.

How exactly would a reclusive retired 95 year old be ruined?

In 1994, former model Dian Parkinson filed a lawsuit against Barker alleging sexual harassment following a three-year affair while working on The Price Is Right. Parkinson, who alleged that she was extorted by threats of firing, later dropped her lawsuit, claiming the stress from the ordeal was damaging her health.[26]
In 1995, model Holly Hallstrom left The Price Is Right and later filed suit against Barker for wrongful termination and malicious persecution claiming Barker had launched a media attack against her, allegedly stating that she was disruptive to the working atmosphere of the show. Barker dropped his case, but Hallstrom did not, finally ending in settlement in 2005.[27]
Following their testimonies in Barker's failed lawsuit against Hallstrom, models Janice Pennington and Kathleen Bradley were fired, and later received out-of-court financial settlements.[28] Director Paul Alter was removed from the show in 2000. Production assistants Sherrill Paris and Sharon Friem, who were also dismissed at the same time, each sued Barker for wrongful termination, as well as sexual harassment and sex discrimination. Both women ultimately received financial settlements.[citation needed]
In October 2007, Deborah Curling, a CBS employee assigned to The Price Is Right, filed a lawsuit against CBS, Bob Barker and The Price Is Right producers, claiming that she was forced to quit her job after testifying against Barker in a wrongful-termination lawsuit brought by a previous show producer. Curling claimed that she was demoted to an "intolerable work environment" backstage which caused her to leave the job. Curling, who is black, also alleged that the show's producers, including Barker, created a hostile work environment in which black employees and contestants were discriminated against.[29] A few months later, Barker was removed from the lawsuit, and in September 2009, the lawsuit was dismissed. Curling's attorney stated that he planned to appeal the dismissal of the lawsuit.[30][31] In January 2012, the California Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal.

His grave is marked and all ready to go in our local cemetery -- it has been for years.

Exactly, R5, he bowed out gracefully after decades of having been a standards-bearer in the ratings that outlived all its competitors.

It sounds like there was no question of criminal charges, just workplace sexual harassment, which is settled by personal lawsuit. And he could afford to out-spend his accusers big time.
That's the traditional Hollywood way to get out of trouble on that front.

He hasn't died, yet, R11.
