(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
Meet me ay Chili’s. Baby Back Ribs all around.
He was a funny guy but after listening to Tommy’s video I had no idea he had such a sad life!
Was depression related to his death?
I didn’t see that in the articles/headlines.
HOORAY Tommy. R.I.P. Verne Troyer. Thank you, sir. (never saw any of his work) Condolences to family and friends.
It was reputedly a suicide.

RIP
A shame, it was such a short life.
I had a friend from college—who had dwarfism—who became an actor after graduation (actually played in the movie “Willow”) and eventually became so depressed he committed suicide.....
It’s a tough life for little people.
There’s going to be a lot of little black dresses at the funeral.
LOL!
Ditto with Herve Villechaize...he committed suicide at 50.
Another good actor who was small was Michael Dunn who played Dr. Loveless in the Wild Wild West, he was a terrific actor and he also committed suicide.
Have to wait for the mini M.E. to publish the autopsy report.
LOL!
When I look back on how FR used to be, I can't help but notice on how it's devolved into such a crap hole of hatred and disgusting comments that now rival the Democratic Underground...........
My first question to you two disgusting idiots is this: Since this site is based on Christianity and Conservatism, IS THIS WHAT THEY TEACH YOU IN YOUR OWN CHURCHES?
Making jokes about and laughing about the death of an individual who suffered all his life with a disability neither one of you could ever imagine dealing with is beyond the pale.
If I were a moderator, I would kick your sorry asses off this site with never a chance of ever logging in again..........
What the hell has happened to FreeRepublic..........
Dwarves and midgets have a lot of health issues. You have to wonder if that wears on them a lot.

The jokes are inevitable—in his memory, flags are to be flown at one-quarter staff.Someone like Verne was probably used to it and maybe had some self-deprecating humor.
On the facebook of 3 ft tall actor Michael Steven, Michael wrote, “You really have to hand it to short people.Because we’re probably too small to reach it anyway.”
Died early, natural causes:
“Tallest man in Britain” Neil Fingleton
“Smallest bodybuilder” Romeo Dev
Dwarf Brad Jourdan, about 38” tall, featured on documentaries; survived
by his 28” tall sister

I agree HT.
I posted this because of the seriousness of suicide and how depression is very real. Right now states are wants to push and some have pushed for physician assisted suicide which I and a lot of others here feel is very wrong. Once crap like that is passed instead of helping people like Verne they would just encourage him to do what he did.
There is a time and place on FR to make jokes. This man’s death was not one of them. He made me laugh in Austin Powers wish only he was still here doing just that, making us laugh.
