Jonathan Brandis Dead?

[Cush]

someone on another board said that Jonathan Brandis (SeaQuest, NeverEnding Story II) committed suicide. I can't find anything on it.

True or not?

[Guaranteed]

1. I heard he was dead from a couple of different sources, but I don't

know how he died. I heard the autopsy showed no signs of violence, though....It kind of sounded like a drug overdose.

2. My research indicates the rumors of his death were exaggerated.

And that he is still alive.

3. The really sad thing

...is that no one really knows if he's dead or not.

For a celeb, I'm thinking this is a bad thing, regardless.

There's also a lengthy (and sometimes noise-filled) discussion of Brandis going on in a blog here.

5. Still odd that there has been so little press about it.

I don't know what to believe.
