Former child star Benji Gregory, known for his role on the sitcom ALF, has died tragically at age 46.
WHAT HAPPENED TO BENJI?
Gregory – who played Brian Tanner on the iconic 80s sitcom, which ran from 1986-1990 – was found dead in his car alongside his service dog Hans at a Chase Bank parking lot in Peoria, Arizona, on June 13.
Gregory’s sister Rebecca told TMZ Gregory suffered from depression, bipolar disorder and had a sleep disorder that ‘often kept him awake for days.’
CAUSE OF HIS DEATH
However, those close to him believe he went to the bank to deposit residual checks on June 12 and fell asleep in his car – dying from vehicular heatstroke.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner Office has not yet determined a cause of death.
ALF ran for four seasons and was on the air from September 22, 1986, to March 24, 1990. It also starred Max Wright, Anne Schedeen and Andrea Elson.
