Wasn't there also mention of him possibly having early stage Parkinson's? or am i thinking of someone else? .

But i knew there was definitely an illness he had which must of been terrible for him to comprehend . His story is very tragic and sad . I remember when i found out he died and being really shocked and devastated :( .

That's sad if he had early stages of Dementia.

I always will enjoy his performance in Jumanji.

Such an awful disease

[Ammi]

...cruel and horrendous especially when it’s early onset, I think...I think he was 63yrs at his death, really no age at all...

[Ammi]

...it’s still hard to think about him and watch him, he was just such an incredibly gorgeous human being from what everyone has said, whose life he touched...
