54-—way too young!
RIP
Dick Van Patten and Lani O’Grady had previously passed.
Oops, and Diana Hyland.
Sadly, Adam had substance abuse issues, which resulted in a 1991 arrest after he smashed a pharmacy window in an effort to obtain drugs.

He was a cute kid...Shame his life turned out not so good...Happens to a lot of child stars...
Any parent would be crazy to put their child into the grip of Hollywood. It too often ends badly. He lived longer than some.
I thought Todd Bridges died years ago. I was thinking of Dana Plato.
I think his medically resistant depression would be due to the tolerance buildup of his drug taking.
He’s another child star that was abused and couldn’t recover from his experiences.
Todd Bridges is the only main cast member left from different strokes.
coleman, plato, conrad bain, all 3 housekeepers, and i think even Drummonds wife in the later part of series are all dead
Very sad... wayy too young. RIP.
Wow. Very sad. Wonder if he had tried ketamine ?
A Minor Consideration, founded by Paul Peterson (Jeff Stone, The Donna Reed Show) posted a nice tribute by Adam’s TV brother, Willie Aames. https://www.facebook.com/minorcon
curious.. why the question about ketamine?
Because it is the best thing available for standard treatment resistant depressives. Less effective for depression/anxiety, though, and not sure how the past drug use, numerous stints in rehab etc would impact results. Apparently Rich had tried various experimental treatments over the years.
Todd, the former crackhead, is the only one still alive.
Maybe Dudley too, but I mean the main family…
The youngest of 8 is Enough.
Its not supposed to be this way!
Doesn't matter. FR coroners have already established a cause (💉) and written their report.
Drug abuse I’d bad.
