Screwed up parents tend to make their children pay the price. Too sad, too often :\'(

Dana Plato herself was born to a messed-up teenage mom and adopted by parents who pushed her into show business. I don't know anything about the kid's dad, but it sounds like Tyler might have been dealing with some inherited (genetic) psychiatric issues as well as the post-trauma of his mother committing suicide.
The whole thing is tragic.

If memory serves (and it usually does) I think that it was Tyler who found his mother dead when he was 14. :\'(

Jesus, the kid was probably a nervous wreck already given Ms. Plato's chaotic life. That had to be the final straw for Tyler. Suicide affects a family for generations. My grandfather ate a shotgun in 1943 when my dad was just a toddler. The family handled it the way a lot families did in those days. They didn't talk about it. They just drowned it out with alcohol. Grandma remarried and sent my dad off to boarding school as soon as he was old enough, and that was that. Or was it? My grandfather was discharged from the army with a diagnosis of "manic depression" (what we now call "bipolar disorder"). Evidence suggests depression runs in families. My father, my aunt, my sister, and myself have all battled depression and suicidality to varying degrees without much letup. Not to be insensitive about it, but in some ways perhaps it is better that Tyler stanched that unhappy genetic line. I survived past 37 (my grandfather's age when he died), which I all but certain I would not, and the long-running illness is part of my decision never to have kids.
