Verne Troyer -- best known for playing Mini-Me in the 'Austin Powers' comedies, and for being one of the shortest men in the world -- has died.

Verne died Saturday afternoon, according to his social media.

We broke the story ... Troyer was taken to the hospital last week after cops got a report he was drunk and suicidal, and was treated for possible alcohol poisoning. Verne's struggled with alcoholism for years and been to rehab many times.

Troyer was born with the genetic disorder known as achondroplasia dwarfism, but said growing up on a farm in Michigan he was never treated differently by his parents than his average-sized siblings.
 
Brutal. He was hilarious in those movies.
Those shadow acts alone.

I remember the VH1 reality show he was on making a running gag of his alcoholism. I'd say that's not going to age well and look bad for them, but it was already a shitshow a decade ago and no one cared.

What a shame.
 
I can't believe how many famous people have died this last week. R Lee Ermey, Art Bell, Bruno Sammartino, Avicii, and now Verne Troyer. Can we go back in time?
