Lee Thompson Young Dies From Suicide

Written by Adriana Morales

News just broke yesterday that Disney actor Lee Thompson Young of the network's TV series "The Famous Jett Jackson", that ran in 1998, has passed away from apparent suicide. Reports surfaced stating that his body was found in his home Monday morning. 2013 has been a tough year when it comes to losing people. Every Glee fan is still trying to get over Cory Monteith's death and just recently, Lisa Robin Kelly of "That 70's Show" and even "Bachelor" contestant Gia Allemand have all passed away. It's certainly a sad time for fans of each person mentioned above and Lee's death only adds to the terrible losses.

As for a note on suicide, please realize that by doing something like this, you are hurting more people than yourself. There are people that love and care for you but you may be too caught up in your own turmoil to notice the love around you. There is always someone out there that will lend an ear, whether you are close to them or not. Should you have serious thoughts on hurting yourself or taking your own life, please talk to a friend/family member and/or seek therapy. There are so many options for help besides taking your own life! Love is all around you!
