He was at a rehab facility when it happened, so the support system was supposedly in place. That's what makes it harder to process. He'd been open about his struggles since 2023 and was trying to help others do the same, but even that wasn't enough to keep him safe.

Such a tragic loss for his family.

The reports mention he passed away at a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles. He had previously spoken publicly about wanting to help others who faced similar struggles.
