JUSTIN PIERCE – SUICIDE

The famous skater and actor Justin Pierce was well-remembered for his role as Casper in the 1995 film Kids. He also made another massive push in his career as Roach in Next Friday and appeared a few episodes of Malcolm in the Middle. Pierce had a rough childhood, and it was probably one of the catalysts on why he wanted to end his life and committed suicide. A prime example of this was when his parents went on and hired a divorce lawyer to end their relationship.

It ultimately opened the door for him towards unhealthy vices and missing out on his schooling in favor of his passion, which was skateboarding. He married Gina Rizzo in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1999. A year later, Pierce was found dead in the same town. On July 10, 2000, hotel security officers found Pierce hanging in his room at the Bellagio hotel. He was just 25.
