Yeah that seemed odd to me I read up and he had a congenital heart defect

At least he died peacefully

RIP

Damn, RIP

Damn, that's young. He has a twin too, so hopefully they are alright if he died from genetic issues.

Two of the cast dead before 55. Very sad. RIP

He was great in Buffy.

Damn. That's sad. Rest in peace.

xrnzaaas · 2026-03-21T08:38:34+0000

He didn't have an easy life being an alcoholic and fighting with depression. He was great in Buffy though, so it's probably best to remember him that way.

Goddamn rip

freemandos · 2026-03-21T10:14:07+0000

Read he had some previous alcohol problems. Excessive drinking/smoking can lead to a fatal stroke. Not saying that's what happened, but it could be deemed a natural cause of death.

RIP
