RIP Brad Renfro
Former child star Brad Renfro was found dead in his Los Angeles apartment at age 25. Foul play is not suspected. The actor had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse.
At age 10, the Tennessee-born actor caught his big break and was cast opposite Susan Sarandon in The Client. He went on to star and co-star in such films as The Cure, Tom and Huck, Sleepers, Apt Pupil, and Ghost World. He had been filming an adaptation The Informers, a novel by Brett Easton Ellis.
Renfro's run-ins with the law were numerous, including most famously an incident in December of 2005, when the LAPD busted him for attempting to purchase heroin in LA's Skid Row.
