Lately there's been a string of celebrity deaths who were child actors. Those are always tragic because of how much growing up as a working actor instead of a normal child harms a person. In terms of education, finances, socialization, sex abuse, addiction, and everything really, it's plain horrific. It's barbaric how there's still a giant exemption to child labor laws for the entertainment industry.
Hayden Panettiere, Carla Jeffery, and RJ Mitte all died in their homes in their thirties. The reported details are understandably vague for the most part, but I'm pretty sure they were all suicides by overdose.
I hadn't heard of those, that is sad. I've long felt that child actors shouldn't even be a thing. There is really no need for entertainment to have child actors. If someone really wants to do media with children characters, especially in modern day it's perfectly feasible to do animation and have an adult do the voice.
