Lee Thompson Young

The actor, who headlined The Famous Jett Jackson (1998-2001) and most recently appeared as Detective Barry Frost on TNT’s Rizzoli & Isles, was discovered at his home in Los Angeles in what was confirmed by his manager as suicide. He was 29.

Los Angeles police officer Sally Madera told the Associated Press that police were sent to the home to check on Young – after he failed to show up for filming – where they found him dead.
