“The Goldbergs” actor Jackson Odell has passed away at the age of 20.

Jackson was found “unresponsive in a sober living home” according to TMZ.

Jacskson was found dead on Frdiay at his home in the San Fernando Valley.

The publication reported: “We’re told he was found unresponsive in a sober living home, and there were no signs of foul play.”

I don't know who he was and I don't follow celebrity gossip.

However, I saw the headline and clicked on the story to find out how he died (another celebrity suicide?) and I found this:

"Jackson was found “unresponsive in a sober living home”.

Sober living home?

Was he an alcoholic at age 20?

Hollywood is an evil place for a child to grow up in.

[VeniVidiVici]

Guess it wasn’t too sober.

Sober isn’t just about alcohol nowadays.

So young...so so young. :(

I grew up in Hollywood’s “shadow” as neither of my parents were involved in the entertainment industry and actually Hollywood and the surrounding areas are a pretty cool place to grow up. I had friends whose parents were costume designers and things, so stuff like Halloween was always fun. A lot of actors who make it big are not Hollywood natives.

Same here. I am not even feeling sufficiently compelled to Google him or those movies/shows.

Dead at 20...
You can’t know What is worth Dying
For at that age...
Sheesh.

Never heard of him, but he looks like a decent guy:

[dfwgator]

Bet you a dollar somebody in the industry abused him.

Paging Corey Feldman...

“Sober living home?

Was he an alcoholic at age 20? “

Sounds like a PC term for a drunk tank.

[yesthatjallen]

That may explain the heavy drinking at such a young age and the need for a sober living home.

I found this:

Nickelodeon Cuts Ties With ‘iCarly’ Creator Dan Schneider After Alleged Abusive Behavior

[dfwgator]

Yep, that was what I was thinking of, I hadn’t realized Nick cut ties with Schneider, but there’ve been stories about him for years.

[Rastus]

I watch the Goldbergs but I don’t remember him.

[MrEdd]

Sucker bet, since iCarly was all about children in adult sexual situations and eventually the network got too many complaints and fired the writer.

[SunkenCiv]

Good catch.

[SunkenCiv]

It’s not a PC term for a drunk tank.

The industry is full to overflowing with gays and other sickos.
