I just don't understand it. He had everything going for him and breaks that most people would BEG for. Why would this young man kill himself? -
Lee Thompson Young was handsome, successful and had his whole life ahead of him.The Famous Jett Jackson star, who played Detective Barry Frost on TNT's Rizzoli & Isles, was discovered dead at his home with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in Los Angeles Monday morning. He was 29.
And police are still trying to determine what happened.
"It's still a mystery. Evidently he was a clean-cut kid who didn't use alcohol and had no reported drug problem," a law enforcement source told the Daily News Tuesday.
The source said investigators recovered a gun at the scene but had not found a suicide note.
Described by those who knew him on the show as having a "positive energy" and "soulful grace," the Daily News says reports that Thompson had in recent years begun practicing Yoruba, an African-based religion, in a search for enlightenment.
Production of Rizzoli & Isles has been suspended for the week.Comment
