SMALLVILLE Actor Lee Thompson Young Dies From Suspected Suicide At 29
Lee Thompson Young - who played 'Cyborg' in Smallville and also appeared in Scrubs, FlashForward and Rizzoli & Isles - has died at the age of 29 from what officials believe to have been a suicide. Read on for further details.
TMZ is reporting that former Disney star Lee Thompson Young has died in what officials believe was a suicide. According to the site, "Young's body was discovered with a gun shot wound that appears to be self-inflicted." The actor most recently starred in TNT's Rizzoli & Isles, but will be best known to comic book fans for bringing 'Cyborg' to life on the small screen in Smallville. He also appeared in the short lived - but popular - sci-fi series FlashForward. They add that, "when he didn't show up to work this morning, staffers called the landlord of Young's L.A. home to check up on the actor...when the landlord opened the door, he discovered Young's body." Our thoughts obviously go out to his friends and family at this time. RIP.
