Aimee Earl of the Los Angeles County Medical-Examiner Coroner’s office. The cause of death was under investigation but was not considered to be suspicious.
Rich’s public life after stardom was similar to that of other child actors whose promising careers are later derailed by drugs and alcohol, and run-ins with the law. Rich discussed his mental health on Twitter and noted in October that he’d been sober for seven years. He said he wasn’t perfect — referring to arrests, many stints in rehab, several overdoses and “countless detoxes relapses” — and urged his nearly 19,000 followers to never give up.
