child actors who committed suicide
Sometimes drug abuse was involved, sometimes not. Actor Brad Renfro battled addiction demons in the last years of his life. After starring in The Client as a young teen, Renfro died of a heroin overdose in 2008. Child actors who committed suicide are also included on this list. In August of 2013, for example, former Disney star Lee Thompson Young, who appeared on the show Famous Jett Jackson and had a part in the TV crime drama 'Rizzoli & Isles,' took his own life at the age of 29.
