I was logged on to post this. I recognized him immediately. The star of Disney's first live action tween/teen show, The Famous Jett Jackson. I wonder what caused him to take this unfprtuante path. May his loved ones get tha nswers napeace they need and hopefully he is in a better place away from the pain that caused such a drastic action.

Yeah, I remember The Famous Jett Jackson and really liked the show. So sad to hear that he's gone and that he died via suicide. It's a very serious thing, and I wish he would have gotten the help to overcome it. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends.
