At work today, the guys got on the subject of child actors and how so many of them ended up messed up. They brought up Seaquest DSV, and Jonathan Brandis from said show.
As we were talking, one of my coworkers looked him up on IMDB, and found out he died in 2003. “How?” one of my coworkers asked. “Says here, he died from injuries resulting from hanging himself.”
“Oh, so he killed himself,” one said. “Not necessarily. It just says he died from injuries from hanging himself, not that he killed himself.”
“Yeah,” I suddenly chime in out of nowhere, “it may have been auto-erotic asphyxiation.”
For some reason, everybody got all awkward after that.
IMDB actually lists “suicide by hanging” as his cause of death. Of course, auto-erotic asphyxiation sounds much cooler. Especially if you associate this guy with The Never Ending Story II.
Did I say cooler? I meant creepier.
*pixie*: Wait, he was in Never Ending Story II? *looks* HOLY CRAP. He shouldn’t have wished all his memories away, that’s what he shouldn’t have done. “Step. Step. Step. Step.” What lame wishes. He should’ve just wished for a ladder. :P
