RIP Brad Renfro



Brad Renfro is dead at 25.

Brad Renfro, the former child star who played a witness to a mob lawyer’s
suicide in the 1994 legal thriller “The Client” and a suburban youth tutored in
evil by an elderly Nazi war criminal in the 1998 film “Apt Pupil,” was found
dead Tuesday morning in his Los Angeles home. He was 25.

[...]

Mr. Renfro was an admitted heroin and methadone user who was photographed being arrested by Los Angeles police officers during a Christmas 2005 sweep of that city’s Skid Row. He was sentenced to three years’ probation for attempted possession of heroin and entered a drug rehabilitation program.

How sad, unnecessary, and completely avoidable.
