Jonathan Brandis


November 18, 2003


Yes, the reports you’ve been hearing are sadly true. Last Wednesday, November 12th, the 27 year-old television star, Jonathan Brandis committed suicide by hanging himself, and friends discovered him. There was no suicide note.

Preliminary toxilogical reports reveal that there was NO trace of drugs of any kind found in Jonathon’s body. None.

Our hearts go out to this fine young actor’s parents, Greg and Mary, who are understandably devastated by this death.

Speculations as to the underlying causes of this tragedy are exactly that; speculations. It serves no purpose to leap to conclusions for none of us will really know what led Jonathan to his decision to take his life.

We are left with a sense of helplessness and perhaps even anger that this thoroughly unexpected death occurred when we have spent years developing resources to deal with any and all crisis situations.

This one hurts. What more can we say?

Paul Petersen,
AMC

That sucks. But I don't recognize the name. What was he in that I may recognize him from?

Ok, I want some proof, because they had the same reports about JTT and I never found anything about that. I want some links people.

Did a memorium on my Live Journal
http://www.livejournal.com/users/ashtarrose/13360.html?mode=reply

In the Arms of an Angel
Sarah Mclaughlin

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Wow. That's horrible...

I did a search on him (www.imdb.com <-best site for everything actor/actress/movie related) and on his message board someone mentioned that people assume he comitted suicide because of his use of accutane. Double wow. That's horrible. So many people have died from that - and it's just a medication to clear acne! The doctor wanted to put my brother on that and as soon as he said that my mom switched dermatologists. I definently don't think clear skin is worth dying for...

"if you let them make you; they'll make
you paper mache; at a distance you're
strong; until the wind comes; then you
crumble and blow away"

That's really sad to hear. I remember him form watching that movie "Ladybugs" when he played on Rodney Dangerfeild's girls soccer team dressed in drag. By the way Chris, if you haven't already looked up his pic...


Here is him when he was younger


and a more recent one
