Three weeks before his death, Grant was filmed at the same location he collapsed, discussing how he “blew” his Star Wars fortune and was “drinking too much”.

https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/paul-grant-star-wars-ewok-actor-dies/

Mr Grant had struggled with substance abuse in recent years and his marriage had fallen apart.

He told the Mirror in 2014: “I’ve been on cocaine and it has just got worse. I’m drinking and smoking what I can get. I’m all right but I do need help.”
“I don’t know what I want at the moment. I had money, I blew it all, I spent it on drugs and prostitutes.”

He added: “I’ve spent a lot of money on drugs and prostitutes, money from the films.”

“He was so well known and loved [for his work]. He’s gone too soon.”

Seems like an odd statement.
Loved for his work? Sure.
Loved as a person? ... meh.

But I'm sure he was a lovely man and the statement is just badly chosen by a journalist. RIP

Some people’s lives are not served well by fame.

It’s like Yeshua’s warning about the greater difficulty for the “rich” man to get into heaven. It’s not about the riches. Its the greater temptations that can come with having riches, requiring a moral strength against temptations that are not so often seen by a “poor” man. The riches add to the temptations by the “rich” man thinking he can buy his way out of the consequences of the temptations, adding additional moral weakness to his problems.

Grant took the dwarfism in stride, often jokingly calling himself the “King of Dwarves,” according to his girlfriend.

All I can say is, Peter Dinklage better have a darn good alibi.

The only hush-hush data now is, “how many jabs did he have?”
