Lee Thompson Young Dies at Age 29, Alleged Suicide

Shit man…this one really hurts me.

Used to watch Jett Jackson all the time when it was on air.

Didn’t see this one coming, RIP.

Man RIP. He was playing a positive lead role on Disney Channel during a time when we weren’t getting a lot of positive representation on TV. Dude seemed like he had it all together-- fame, young, good-looking…

What could drive someone like that to take his own life?

Dropping by to pay respects…Was surprised as all hell when I saw the link after I came from the midnight launch. R.I.P. Jett Jackson

R.I.P.

RIP =(

In the OP pic he looks exactly the same as he did on Disney.

RIP

so sad. so young :frowning:

Damn, one of the few actors to come out of Disney that I actually liked. R.I.P

So young.

So handsome.

Guy was beast mode in The Hills Have Eyes 2. RIP.

The sad part is that he was one of the few child stars that seemingly jumped over the pit of self-destruction so many have fallen in. Such a shame…

R.I.P.

Man, in one thread dudes are hatin on some old fart for bustin a suicide, but in this thread its, “so sad, RIP”.

Anyhow, I dont know who that dude is.

This is a really big shock. I remember coming home everyday just to watch the show, with the theme song He’s the Famous Jet Jackson! ringing in my head. Would make sure everyday around 4 pm that I had chips and a nice soda waiting so I could watch it.

He was such a good person, I NEVER heard anything bad about him;and he represented someone I saw myself as ( being that I was basically the same age as him) and was a great role model. He was someone, over the years, I saw PASS the abyss of trouble that young stars get themselves into and grow up to be an intelligent and humbling man.

This is really heartbreaking news, my sincere condolences to the family and all of my love. What could drive him to suicide?

There’s a clear difference between a 60 year old killing himself because he wants to be famous & has nothing better to do than an intelligent, graceful young man abruptly committing suicide for reasons unbeknownst to us.

Not really… they’re both dudes that offed themselves, I have no pitty for either.

There IS a clear difference as I noted earlier. The only similarity is taht they both killed themselves. That’s it. Their contributions to society are different, they’re different individuals, their reasons for doing it are different, etc.

Yes, really.

Then have no pity for either, just don’t waste this thread’s time and get the fuck out.

What the fuck is this thread about. A pitty party for some idiot? Just because he was famous he has more value than some unknown geezer? If anything hes the bigger idiot as he was far younger.

Yall act like you knew this chump personally.

Alright, would you like me to close the thread then?

Sure, go for it. I dont care.

RIP poor dude who I guess was an child star or something.
