Lee Thompson Young (February 1, 1984 – August 19, 2013) was an American actor. He was known for his teenage role as the title character on the Disney Channel television series The Famous Jett Jackson and as Chris Comer in the movie Friday Night Lights. His last starring role was portraying Boston police detective Barry Frost on the TNT police drama series Rizzoli & Isles.
On August 19, 2013, Young failed to show up for filming an episode of Rizzoli & Isles. Police were called to do a well being check on him at his Los Angeles apartment, where he was found dead. His manager confirmed the actor took his own life. Police confirmed cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 29.
The longer I live, the less rhyme or reason I see in life.
Why would an actor whose name is well known and who's been on a solid career, without any (AFAIK) history as a drug abuser, do that at the age of 29? It must have been clinical depression, which of course defies any rational explanation? Certainly, there's no rational explanation ...
