Ditto with Herve Villechaize...he committed suicide at 50.
Dwarves and midgets have a lot of health issues. You have to wonder if that wears on them a lot.

I cannot recall what his dwarfism was caused by, but apparently it was a type that had normal sized internal organs, but stuck in a small body.
When he committed suicide, his note said that he wanted to leave his body to science, so that someone might figure out a cure, and prevent others from suffering as he did.
IDK what demons, or pain Verne Troyer suffered from, but I know he had a big problem with alcohol.
Like Herve, Verne was beloved and famous.
Apparently that wasn't enough.
Then there are lots of little people who don't get depressed, and live long lives. Like Billy Barty, Kenny Baker, and Jerry Moran.
