Twenty-five-year-old actor Brad Renfro was found dead today in his L.A. home. Renfro, a long-term drug abuser who had been convicted of several drug offenses, had been struggling to stay clean since last summer.
Brad previously starred in such movies as Tom and Huck, The Client, and The Cure, and was recently filming The Informers with Billy Bob Thornton and Winona Ryder.
The cause of death has yet to be determined, but Renfro appears to be another tragic casualty of child stardom and fame gone drastically awry.
UPDATE: Two days before Renfo’s death, he got a tattoo across his back reading F*** ALL Y”ALL. A suicide note in disguise?
