Actor Lee Thompson Young, who played the main character on Disney's "The Famous Jett Jackson", has committed suicide. He was 29.
The actor's body was discovered inside his North Hollywood home on Monday with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, TMZ reported.
It's unclear why Young killed himself.
"It is with great sadness that I announce that Lee Thompson Young tragically took his own life this morning ... Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed," his publicist said.
The actor was working on show "Rizzoli & Isles". The staffers apparently called his landlord and told him to check up after Young did not -- and we're told when he didn't show up to work Monday morning, staffers called Young's landlord to check up on the actor.
