Jonathan Brandis’s 27 short years on earth was one of fame right from his early days in modeling till he transitioned into the big screen with his debut on One Life To Live. From then on, there was no looking back as he moved on to become a teen star following his roles in The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter and SeaQuest DSV.

Obviously, something was still not right as Jonathan committed suicide at 27 years leaving his friends wondering what went wrong. Could they have done more, loved him more, been more attentive? Could they have prevented his death? No one knows for sure why he took his life. We want to believe his lawyer was able to process his life insurance package.

LESLIE CARTER

Leslie Barbara Carter was born on June 6, 1986, in Tampa, Florida. She was the third of five children of Robert Gene Carter And his wife, Jane Elizabeth Carter. The Carter family is a family of musicians. Remember Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys? Then Aaron Carter the solo artist? Both of them were Leslie Carter’s brothers. Though not as popular as her brothers, Leslie enjoyed her own path as a singer. Sadly, Leslie suffered a long bout of depression and anxiety.

Her life was painfully cut short at its prime when at 25 years of age, she overdosed on prescription drugs. Leslie had the need for drug rehabilitation but she did not take that course. She left her 10-month-old daughter, Alyssa, behind. Maybe a drug rehab program would have restored her to normal, maybe more love and attention would have saved her. We just hope there was someone to take care of her insurance policies.

TEENA MARIE

A singer, songwriter and producer with a soulful vocal, Teena Marie is globally recognized in soul music and R& B. She always displayed amazing dexterity in playing rhythm guitar and keyboard. Her success in R&B and soul music and her loyalty to these genres will earn her the title of “Queen of Ivory”. She plays rhythm guitar, keyboard and conga. Teena Marie has been nominated for Grammy Awards three times.

In 2004, Teena suffered some brain damage which resulted in her having seizures for the rest of her 6 years on earth. This was after a huge picture frame fell and hit her on the head. It is uncertain whether she received proper treatment – if at all during the period. Teena Marie died of natural causes on December 26, 2010. Maybe, just maybe she would have lived longer and without the seizures. No accident lawyer or wrongful death attorney was alerted of the situation either.

COREY HAIM

Corey Hiam the Canadian actor rose in the rank and file of the most prominent teen stars of the ’80s within a twinkle of an eye. His performances in The Lost Boys, Murphy’s Romance, License to Drive, Dream a Little Dream and Silver Bullet and other movies transformed him into a teen idol over time. His role with Corey Feldman in “The Lost Boys” made Heim a household name. The two were called “Two Coreys” and became idols in the 1980s.

They appeared in seven films together, and then appeared in the American A&E reality show “Two Coreys”. Unfortunately, Corey like some of the teen stars of his time got himself involved in drug and alcohol abuse. Complications were inevitable with that lifestyle and he soon got diagnosed with pulmonary edema and enlarged heart which later led to his death on March 10, 2010. He could have been saved from this ugly fate if he had been instituted in a drug/alcohol rehab center.

PAT MORITA

When you talk of highly celebrated Asian-American actors, you must mention Pat Morita. Talk of his prominent roles in Karate Kid has Mr. Miyagi, the 1998 animated film, and Mulan as the Emperor of China. His portrayal of Ah Chew in Sanford and Son sitcom catapulted him into fame among other stellar screen performances. Pat Morita is the lead actor in the TV show Mr. T and Tina (1976) and the police-themed drama Ohara (1987-1988).

These two TV shows became one of the few TV shows starring Asian American TV. Pat’s life came to an end on November 24th, 2005 after a kidney failure. Fortunately, though, he was free of any bankruptcy squabbles and he kept his slate clean of drug or alcohol rehab his entire life. Dying without a will and testament from an attorney would be dangerous for a famous star like Pat. Could he have died without a will for those he left behind? We hope not.

SUNNY JOHNSON

Sunny Johnson was born on September 21, 1953, in San Bernardino County, California, and his name is Sunny Suzanne Johnson.

Tragically, a blood vessel burst in her brain in 1984 causing her to fall into a coma with no hope of recovery and no need for further treatment. Her family therefore resorted to taking her off the respirator. Her attorneys declared that it was not a case of wrongful death.

CHRIS CORNELL

The lead singer of Linkin Park committed suicide by hanging at 41. According to his toxicology reports from his wrongful death lawyer, there were traces of alcohol in his system at the time of death. Chester Bennington was never a victim of bankruptcy; perhaps the depression he suffered pushed him into taking his own life. We pray h finds peace in the afterlife.

BRAD RENFRO

Brad Barron Renfro had over 20 feature films and voice roles to his name in Hollywood. His lead role in The Client at 11 became his stepping stone into the world of famous teen stars. Before being selected as a “client”, Renfro had no acting background and lived in the trailer park with his grandmother. Director Joel Schumacher wants to create a “naughty child” who has the necessary life experience and can understand the character he portrays.

When Renfro continued to star in movies such as Tom and Huck and Sleepers, he quickly attracted a large number of fans. Following his association with bad characters, his career began to rapidly fade due to alcohol and substance abuse. Being a young star, he got no chance or inclination to seek assistance in a drug rehab or alcohol rehab. Sadly, at 25, Brad Renfro overdosed on drugs and died in 2008. No one knows how far he went with his life insurance.

His career was considered one of the longest since the actor stayed in the entertainment industry for decades, long after his contemporaries decided to make their exits.

Unfortunately, illness from his prostrate brought Bill’s career to an abrupt end. The initial treatment he received was successful until 1993, when the disease reappeared and claimed the actor’s life at 59. Sad to say, the beloved public figure passed away on his hospital bed. We believe it was too soon for Bill to have established a family life insurance seeing as he died shortly after his marriage.

ANTHONY BOURDAIN

He starred in various TV series such as The Layover, The Taste, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, and A Cook’s Tour.

Anthony loved to travel the world to gain different perspectives on his culinary work.

His talent and skills are in-demand, making him a frequent guest in TV and culinary shows.
Throughout the years, his career was doing amazing, which was why it came as a shock to many when the eclectic chef was found hanging in a hotel room. According to the toxicology tests, the public prosecutor declared that there were no signs of violence on his body, and there was no trace of any narcotics in his system. The world mourned for the loss of another icon.

ANDY WHITFIELD

Andy Whitfield’s transition to Australia transformed him from a construction laborer to an actor. He also tried the modeling industry, eventually making it as a fashion model.

At the time, he was only 39. Andy’s struggle with the disease has been made into a documentary film titled Be Here Now. Though the actor is long gone, he certainly did not want to leave his family under the threat of debt of bankruptcy, so he left a trust fund for his loved ones.

ALAN RICKMAN

Alan Rickman will always be known to Harry Potter fans as Professor Severus Snape. Rickman trained at the notable Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, after which he became a prominent part of the Royal Shakespeare Company. The actor went on to star in many films such as Love Actually, Die Hard, the Harry Potter series, and most notably, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which earned him a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in Supporting Role.

Everyone knows that Alan was dedicated to his craft, bringing many beloved characters to life— so it does not come off as a surprise that he is the only actor that made it into the Greatest Villains list twice. By a wicked twist of fate, the English actor and director was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer following a minor stroke, which he suffered in 2015. The cancer claimed his life on January 14, 2016, at the age of 69. All the loans in the world could not keep the legend alive physically, but we all know he continues to live on in the hearts of his fans.

ABE VIGODA

Abe Vigoda gained popularity with his portrayal of Tessio in the hit movie, The Godfather. On top of that, he appeared in other popular films such as Batman: The Mask of Phantasm. The talented star’s acting career took off with stage acting at a young age. Over time, he used his theater experiences to move on to acting in television shows and movies. In the 1980s, a popular magazine made a story about Abe, claiming that he already passed on. As an effect, many people took the bait. The actor, in turn, poked fun at his premature death announcement and enjoyed the extra publicity by even posing in coffins for photographs.

We don’t actually understand why, but for some reason, the American actor gained several death hoaxes over the years, such that when he actually took his last breath in 2006, people thought it was another ruse. He died of natural causes at the age of 94. It is unclear whether or not he left a will for those he left behind and if he had an attorney to oversee things, but one thing’s for sure – this is no longer a hoax!

CORY MONTEITH

The popular star of the hit TV show Glee, Cory Monteith, was a Canadian actor and musician. Prior to his credit role on Glee, he had played minor roles in other smaller-scaled TV series. The actor will also be remembered for his dream guy performance in the film Monte Carlo last 2011, as well as his acting chops in the Canadian drama Sisters and Brothers. Before he was given his most enormous break, he appeared on minor roles after his audition tape of Can’t Fight This Feeling went viral.

His sudden passing was a horror to his fans. From the tender age of 13, Cory has been dependent on illegal substances and had visited rehabilitation centers repeatedly. Ultimately, the same thing caused his untimely death back in July 2013. At the time, the actor was still working on Glee, so the producers had to eliminate his character on the show as well.

CHRISTOPHER “BIG BOY” BOYKIN

The “Big Boy” became famous with his appearance in the MTV reality show Rob & Big. His name was indelibly engraved twice in the Guinness World Records— first for peeling and eating three bananas within a minute, and the second one was for gulping five doughnuts down in a mere two minutes. Christopher also performed in Ridiculousness. Rob, on the other hand, was dedicated to becoming an entrepreneur when he launched his own clothing line, Big Black.

He is a multi-talented media personality adored by many fans, friends, and family. In 2016, Christopher was admitted to the hospital and placed under a heart scanner. Unfortunately, on May 9, 2016, his heart ceased to function. Medical reports placed the cause of death as an acute myocardial infarction. He left behind a life well-lived and a legacy for his loved ones. We assume his life insurance was enough to take care of his medical bills, so he also left everyone with one less thing to worry about.

MARK SALLING

Mark Salling was an American actor and musician. He rose in fame following his appearance as Noah Puck Puckerman on the hit TV series Glee.

The young actor who was embroiled in some big-scale controversies passed on through asphyxia as a result of hanging. He did it to himself a few weeks before he was to be sentenced for his crimes in 2017. At 35 years old, he was gone too soon, unable to be saved by his fame or attorneys. Regardless, Mark’s impact on Gleeks and his contributions in making the series renowned over the world will forever be cherished.

GEORGE MICHAEL

George Michael was an English singer, songwriter, and record producer. He was a member of the popular music duo, Wham! but in due course, the musician went solo.

He also sold more than 80 million records across the world! George spent his music career in success, being famous, but also invested in himself.

With various health complications over time, the award-winning singer breathed his last on December 25, 2016, at the age of 53. According to a coroner’s post-mortem report, his death was attributed to dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by fatty liver and myocarditis. Michael’s family and legal aid assured us that the singer had a tangible life insurance plan set aside during his lifetime.

His showbiz life included his performance in The Gregory Hines Show as well as an award-winning act in Jelly’s Last Jam. His movie debut, however, came in Mel Brookes’ History of the World, Part I in the ’80s. Gregory’s tap-dancing skills are one of the best in the late 20th century, which helped him to become a famous personality.

On August 9, 2003, Gregory succumbed to liver cancer at the age of 57, a year after the sickness was diagnosed. Despite the treatments he underwent, he could not beat the disease. Cancer is one of the deadliest complications, and many artists similarly lost the battle. Gregory was among the Hollywood actors who never indulged in substance abuse and vices, so the cause was totally unexpected. In his 50s, the talented entertainer still had quite a lot of gas left in his tank, so it was such a shame to see him go this early.

GEORGE GAYNES

George Gaynes rose quickly as an actor after dumping his career in the Dutch Navy. He made his acting debut on Broadway and became well known for his role in The Police Academy, Punky Brewster, Tootsie, and The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd. The actor even co-starred with his real-life wife for the latter production! With his deep baritone voice, George was a renowned voice artist in his time. If that’s not enough to impress you, then you must know that this intelligent and talented human being knows seven different languages and mastered them well.

The Finnish-born actor slash singer peacefully passed on due to natural causes at the ripe age of 98 on February 15, 2016. Luckily, George was able to revisit his last will and testament before his demise. Although he was a very private man, many know that he saves up for his future and family. Credits to his dedication, he has built a wonderful life for himself as well as his loved ones.

DAVID MARGUILES

The Hollywood celebrity made his debut on Broadway in 1973 as a stage actor in The Iceman Cometh. He also starred in flicks such as All That Jazz, Last Embrace, Hide in Plain Sight, Daniel, and Times Square. Due to his diligent appearance in several theater productions, films, and TV series, David is considered one of the most versatile actors of his time.

On a somber note, three days after his 79th birthday, the actor lost his fight with cancer, creating a void in his family and in the movie industry. Having acquired quite some fortune during his days, we believe he had earned quite a hefty net worth— and we won’t be surprised if he had a good financial adviser to help him manage his assets. David may be gone but his legacy remains to this day.

HEATH LEDGER

Heath was an award-winning Australian actor praised for his credit roles in such films as The Dark Night, The Patriot, and Brokeback Mountain.

Ledger found a passion for playing chess at only the age of 10. He then won Western Australia’s Junior Chess Championship at a young age.

During that time, he was also fascinated by watching stage performers and soon took on the lead role in a school production of Peter Pan. This paved the way for a deeper love of the acting craft, and the rest, as they say, is history. On January 22, 2008, Heath was discovered unconscious. The cause of his passing, as ascertained by toxicology reports, was due to intoxication from pharmaceuticals. It was termed a clear case of an accidental overdose of prescribed medicines.

ANDY HALLET

From that time, he began performing on stage, on TV screens, and in movies.

Andy is not just an ordinary actor because he was one of the most promising stars of his time. However, in 2005, he began to experience some medical challenges. He suffered a dental infection that extended to his heart, resulting in cardiomyopathy. The infection weakened his heart and led him to suffer from congestive cardiac failure, which resulted in his demise in 2009. It was also reported that his life insurance plans were intact.

The ailment, however, gave him the chance to prepare his last will and testament. His death needed no wrongful death attorney since there was no medical malpractice during his hospitalization. Even he is not with us anymore, his impact remains, and many aspire to him for the work he left in the industry. He also left us a treasure- he wrote a book of his memoirs during his stay in the show business.

We could only hope this won’t happen again in the film industry.

Every image was brought to life fantastically because he knew how to handle every role given to him.

He once held the post of the President of The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art too. Sad to say, Richard, battled with a heart ailment, which later resulted in a stroke in 2008. He underwent treatment for years and had to live with a pacemaker fixed in his heart. On August 24, 2014, a few days before his 91st birthday, the actor gave up the ghost.

There, she was trained to act on screen, and since then, her dreams of becoming a popular actress was fulfilled. She went ahead to star in The Court, The Practice, CSI: Miami, Dragnet, and Without a Trace, among other movies.

Her death was painful and tragic because she died due to a misdiagnosis rather than any lingering illness. Her doctors were wrongly treating her for bronchitis rather than pneumonia, and by the time they realized the real ailment, nothing else could be done to save her. We expect that the ones she left behind will judiciously utilize her life plans and policies. The actress had so much in her, and the impact she left in the entertainment industry still remains.

Eleven days later, her body was found beneath a cliff. A post-mortem report of December 3 determined that she died from injury the day she vanished.

Her wrongful death attorney concluded that suicide, accident, or foul play could be the probable cause of Misty’s death. Her death was a tragic one, and it left many fans to wonder how it happened to such a kind person. She died at a young age, and honestly, we think she still has more to achieve in the show business industry. Misty will remain a good actress to us and a loving daughter to her family.

On December 3, 2002, he was found dead in his friend’s home. The cause of death was an accidental overdose. It will never be known if Glenn was encumbered with loans or bankruptcy or if he had received counseling and treatment. We’re not sure if he had a wife or kids, but we’re certain that his fans and peers were shocked and saddened by his tragic death. Glenn had shown a lot of potential in Hollywood, and he would’ve been a big star by now if he didn’t give up the ghost.

However, she decided to get a college degree instead of pursuing more of her acting career.

It was later discovered that Amanda battled personal issues, a weakness that got her into legal trouble on many occasions. In 2015, she slipped into death from an accidental overdose. It’s a wonder that she did not seek any help when she had the opportunity. Either her loved ones didn’t deem it fit, or she didn’t care to listen to them. However, she was known to have saved $50,000, a fruit of her hard work in the industry.

Unfortunately, cancer had its way as Marcia gave up the fight in 2013 at the age of 70 when she died because of pneumonia and sepsis. It happened a week before her 71st birthday.

The report on her autopsy was released and revealed that she died from an overdose of a combination of anti-anxiety medications, painkillers, and sleeping pills. With her estimated net worth of $500,000, we could only hope she hired a financial advisor to take care of it when she died.

He was, however, famous for being an American TV personality and businessman. He was featured on Pawn Stars, as co-owner of the Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, on the History Channel Series.

RUSSELL ANDERSON

Russell Armstrong’s role in the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills shot him to the limelight. He, however, could not handle the emotional and financial pressure that came with fame, as he rightly stated in an interview. Russell had problems not only with money management, but he also had troubles with his married life. He became sick, helpless, and this prompted his wife’s desire for separation.

Many would agree that these reality shows can sometimes take a toll on your personal life.As for Russell’s case, he surely spent money that he did not have for the sake of the show. He eventually hired a family law expert, though it seemed a rehab would have been a better choice because, in the end, he got so sick of living in bankruptcy that he took his own life. His friends tried their best to help him, but Russell sadly chose to go.

LEE THOMPSON YOUNG

Remember Jett Jackson of The Famous Jett Jackson Disney series? The character was portrayed well by actor Lee Thompson Young. Lee was also featured in the 2004 movie Friday Night Lights.

The police confirmed that it was indeed a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His attorney stated that the possibility of wrongful death is not on the table because the cause has been backed by medical and police reports.

The English actor battled intensely with addiction without going for either counseling or therapy in any rehab center, which could have made a huge difference in his life as it might have kept him alive longer.

Trevor died of an overdose on various substances on June 7, 2003. Initial investigation showed that the process of his divorce has been bugging him and that suicide was already suspected. Such a waste when all of these can be solved if he was surrounded by persistent help and counseling. Substance abuse is a very difficult habit to break, but it is possible to recover by seeking professional care. One, therefore, wonders why he refused the assistance. Was he able to follow investment planning despite his lifestyle?

PETER VAUGHAN

Wem-born Peter Vaughan was mostly known and loved for his portrayal of Master Aemon Targaryen in Game of Thrones and Grouty in Porridge. He had always been a character actor with participation in many stage productions, shows, and films.

There were speculations that he battled depression and mental health problems, as hinted by social media. Lady Gaga afterward tweeted suicide as the cause of his death and stated the need to eradicate the stigma associated with mental health so that people can seek help. However, Lady Gaga then apologized for this false information as the official report confirmed that his death was accidental with no evidence of a suicide attempt. His lawyers then have confirmed the medical report that no foul play was involved in his death.

He was, however, killed three weeks after the album was released.

He was shot by his fan named Mark David Chapman, who had traveled from Hawaii. In an interview, Mark said that he was so angry by John’s latest public statement, but let’s not dig deeper into that. John Lennon died financially buoyant as he was at the height of his career and was known for his other ventures. In a 1975 interview with Spin, he asked about his preferred businesses, and he stated that he told his financial advisors this: “Give me a list of things I can invest in that do not involve exploiting people.”

She was married twice, but her second marriage gave her a daughter named Kate, who also appeared in the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye. Eunice died a natural death at 90 on June 8, 2018. Her legacy will always remain as the original Bond girl, which we are sure many artists would want to follow. She left quite a sum of money when she died. With an estimated $1.2-million net worth, we hope her family will make judicious use of her investment money and ensure that it will be put to good use.

NANCY SINATRA SR.

Nancy Sinatra Sr. was the childhood sweetheart and wife of the maestro, Frank Sinatra. Three years after their wedding, she was so excited to host a 15-minute radio show on a local station called WAAT. She was also employed as a secretary while her husband worked as a songwriter.

She appeared only twice on TV: one time on her daughter’s concert film, Nancy and Lee in Las Vegas (1975) and the other time, on her friend’s talk show in 1974. Nancy must have lived off on her husband’s fortune even after their separation since she got a percentage of her husband’s income, a house free of mortgage, custody of their children, and a Cadillac as part of the settlement. She lived incredibly long- outliving her husband and one of her sons- and died at 101.

When she was diagnosed with the medical condition in 2009, she was able to come out of it and became cancer-free after six months of chemotherapy.

Though there are hearsays that the actress died in a car crash, no final evidence was submitted to back it up. This mysterious lady left everybody in the dark about her life and death as the public is still not certain of the cause of her death.

There are no facts or authentic reports about her death, and we are left in doubt as to whether she died of natural causes, accident, sickness, or something else. This kind of mystery will lead to different theories that she is still alive and just want to be left alone. But whatever it is, we hope she finds rest as even her wrongful death attorney is not forthcoming with details of her death.

Madilyn, his on-screen and real-life sister, later released a powerful statement, “Reach out to the one who loves you.” This tragic moment must have broken his family’s heart. Hopefully, the young actor had provided them investment money to help them start their lives again.

It was his wife who made a public announcement about his death four days after he died. His legacy continues to live on, especially in the movie industry. The Academy paid tribute to his many achievements in the 88th Academy Awards’ Memoriam section. With a long list of critically-acclaimed performances, Christopher must have left his family a huge fortune for them to inherit and probably, invest in businesses.

However, his appearance in Ryan’s Hope was his most famous role, where he later returned with his wife in its final episodes in 1989.

He had a long streak of smoking habits that eventually led to lung cancer in 2003. It was not long after when he died of the said disease. He was 61 years old.

His character as Jack Tripper on ABC’s television sitcom Three’s Company not only wowed the public but also earned the actor a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award. The cancellation of the spin-off Three is a Crowd after 22 episodes only led him to embark on new roles. John was so talented that he was seen in over 100 films and television shows combined.

Unfortunately, John was wrongfully diagnosed with a heart attack, and his doctors completely failed to see the enlargement of his aorta. He then died because of an aortic dissection, which is a much more severe condition. This circumstance led him to his death at the age of 54. His wife gathered attorney and filed lawsuits against the doctors involved in her husband’s case. The lawsuits against the hospital were settled out of court for $9.4 million while the doctors were found not negligent.

He was rushed to the Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center, where he died due to a Type-A aortic dissection. He was 69 years old. Good thing he had secured a trust fund for his family, which was already settled by his investment manager.

In recent years, the actor was invited to attend the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but unfortunately, he was too weak to travel to the US, so he attended the premiere in London instead.

We’ll just have to ask whether he had acquired cash loans or not.

Well, nothing really is official unless his family would confirm such information.

He reportedly had other problems in his personal life, too. After a bad incident with his landlord on September 26, 2012, Johnny accidentally fell from either the roof, garage, or the patio on the second floor and then died too. His attorney reported that the autopsy showed no signs of alcohol and other prohibited substances. Though it did show fingernail marks on his neck and partial strangulation, it was ruled as accidental death.

However, the child star’s life was cut short by pneumonia and bronchitis.

It has been a trend for child stars who are left unsupervised in the entertainment industry to fall into unwanted vices. This case was true for Ashleigh as she had been a constant user of different substances that caused her to be dependent. She died at the age of 26 because of an overdose. Her family then revealed that the autopsy indeed indicated the presence of the said substance. We hope that even with her short-lived career, she was able to invest or even avail insurance.

In an interview during the reunion of the Partridge Family on The Today Show, the former child star said that she managed the OfficeMax in Arizona.

She was never the type to smoke and drink too.

That is why when she was diagnosed with a rare intra-abdominal type of cancer, people were shocked. She underwent surgery twice in 1997 and 1998 in the course of her battle to live. However, in an unfortunate event, the cancer growth ruptured and metastasized to her other organs.
