Ex-Disney actor Lee Thompson Young commits suicide aged 29

Former Disney child actor Lee Thompson Young was found dead in his apartment from a suspected self-inflected gun shot wound...

From TMZ
Lee Thompson Young, who played the main character on Disney's "The Famous Jett Jackson" has died after what officials believe is a suicide TMZ has learned. He was 29. Sources tell us Young's body was discovered with a gunshot wound that appears to be self-inflicted.
Young currently appears in the TNT show "Rizzoli & Isles" and we're told when he didn't show up to work this morning, staffers called the landlord of Young's L.A. home to check up on the actor.
We're told ... when the landlord opened the door, he discovered Young's body.
Lee's publicist confirms the actor killed himself, telling TMZ, "It is with great sadness that I announce that Lee Thompson Young tragically took his own life this morning ... Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed."

  20. Its sad d rate young pple commit suicide abroad. Pple dat we think "ve it all". Even wit d terrible situation in naija young pple still try to hustle it out. Oyibo's need to go back to God. Dey ve gotten used to or feel dey can always do it on deir own but dey r wrong. They need God. We all need God in our lives despite d position or situation we find ourselves.

  39. It's unfortunate........I used to want to kill myself back in school cuz I was depressed and I had no friends and people didnt like me. But when I thought about my parents and what it would do to them I didn't. I knew that if nobody missed me they would miss me. Depression is not of God. It's not the way of the Holy Spirit

    ReplyDelete
  40. For no reason @all shuld he do dat! None! Like 4real he jst wasted himself in a hurry... still in shock tho n cnt still believe he did it himself,its a planned crime! #datsall. Bossladydi

    ReplyDelete
  41. That boy did not kill himself, I suspect foul play. He's black, they don't want to investigate another black mans death, so they keep up with suicide...how sad.

    ReplyDelete
  42. What?! What å tragic loss! I've loved his work for so long! Since his Jett Jackson days. What could've gone wrong? Just saw him last week on Rizzoli & Isles. So so sad! RIP Lee!

  44. Gosh!!this world is really coming to an END!shit,so dis cute guy took his own life...how did these oyibos even know that its self-inflicted??#thinking

  45. Please he should bounce. People are dying from serious illnesse - in pain for that matter. When you take your own life it's your decision. Why should we who you didn't think about - his family, friends, colleagues e.t.c - have to deal with this.

    Life can be tough but what are all these self exits about?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Why? This is sad. Taking the life you didn't give yourself isn't the best.
    Life cn be cruel sometimes but NOTHING can ever justify ending your life by yourself.
    I've had suicidal thoughts cos of heart break but I thank God for his mercy and love. I'm not completely okay yet but I know with time, I'll be.
    Lee you shouldn't have! There's always light @ the end of the tunnel and even if you didn't get to the end, you should have allowed the giver of life to take it back when He pleases. May God have mercy on your soul. Amen

  47. Or maybe someone shot him and made it look like an accident...

  71. Nonsence. No matter what, suicide is never an option. God's judgement still awaits him suicide or no suicide. My father did that and yet d option didn't change anything.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Any evidence to prove dat he committed suicide? Many people like me don't believe what they said. They should investigate d cause of his death properly without any bias please.

  83. Wow...I loved this dude from Smallville to Scrubs, Flashforward to Friday Night Lights and finally Rizzoli & Isles.

    God please, show compassion on his soul, grant him mercy and give his family peace. Its sad when young people die. Saddder still when its a suicide. He had no one to talk to? No one to turn to?

    People please, check in with your friends. Don't be too impatient to talk or communicate. We all have problems so facing yours and ignoring others sometimes is a selfish decision especially when there is a real need for help.Nigerians are slowly becoming jaded and hard. Nobody cares ...

    ReplyDelete
  84. OMG! What a tragedy, I loved him in rizzoli & Isles. He was so cute a man. RIP. May God bless ur soul. Amen

    ReplyDelete
  85. Funny enough so many people are going through pains and a heavy heart, please guys be nice to everyone around you for you don't know what they are passing through... Besides, being a Nigerian alone I am already depressed, but life goes on.RIP to the dead!
