I read this in another thread and thought others would want to know through the subject title. This kid had a very recognizable face:

I read that, too, but don't you think it is weird that they are just telling us now when he killed himself like 10 days ago or so?? Hmmm..
He was in a few things....some TV show that I never watched and I know he was in Neverending Story Pt. 2.

Thats sad I remember him on Seaquest and he did that movie with Chuck Norris.Seems like most child actors have such a tragic ending.Once they lose the fame it really gets to their head but they must realize you gotta move on and find another career.

But he didn't "lose his fame", he just made a new movie that's coming out in a few months.

Maybe there was foul play involved. I hope the authorities are investigating and with efficiency.

Omg. He was recently on an episode of Celebrities Uncensored . He looked like he was having a good time with a group of friends. That's so sad.

That's sad. I remember him on Seaquest.

Heard the Enquirer will have the story printed in the Nov.28th issue(or it comes out the 28th)...anyone hear what the report is now that it's been over a week...suicide? Trouble? Was like his place ransacked? It said a friend found him and called for medical help but it was too late...so did the friend suspect problems? How soon after did they find him? If the friend just got there maybe they knew something-as you can't really get someone help if they are already gone???? Didn't he live in a house with his success? They said an apartment.OHHH THOSE ENDLESS QUESTIONS......
If you know more write back....
Thanks, J.D.

This is sad. I remember him best from the tv miniseries "It" by Stephen King.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm reading this. That is sad. I have been wondering what he's been up to because I haven't heard about him since '94. I remember him from "Terminator" and "Ladybugs" and how can I forget him from "It"---he made a remarkable performance in that movie.
