That's so sad. I also used to have the biggest crush on him.

I think it's weird that I haven't seen it in any other papers... he was pretty famous... you'd think it'd be more widespread

My best friend was so in love with him... He was really popular right at the time we were at the age for BOP and all those other teeny-bopper magazines...

I don't think he's done anything mainstream since Seaquest. I kinda think Hollywood has forgotten him which is why it hasn't become national news.

I had all the BOP and Teen Beat posters of him all over my wall.

So sad.

ETA: Stuff I found from the 'Net...

The moderator of seaQuestLinkUp (a yahoo group) called the LA Coronors office to confirm the death of Jonathan Brandis.

This is what he said to us in an email tonight, "I have spoken to the LA Coroner's Office and they've confirmed the following;

The FACTS are that he committed suicide by hanging himself. His friends found him at his apartment on the 12 November 2003.

There is still an ongoing toxicology report which won't be available for about 4 - 6 weeks. "

This is all I know. I have not found any other information on the web about his death.

i absolutely loved him when i was like 14. i can't believe he would kill himself.

One of my co-worker's friends called and told us about it... couldn't believe it. I loved him in Lady Bugs.

Cluey · #11 11-19-2003, 11:01 PM

I loved him. I think just about every girl around age 25 loved him at one time or another.

How tragic.

I still can't believe E! hasn't done anything on this. He's not a huge star anymore but I still think a lot of people remember him. Hell, even my boyfriend remembered.
Me: "Honey, Jonathan Brandis died. Me so sad."
Him: "Who the hell is that?"
Me: "He was in Ladybugs."
Him: "Huh?"
Me: "He was on Seaquest and in the movie Sidekicks."
Him: "Ohhhh...that dude."
