The late Lee Thompson Young starred in the popular show “The Famous Jett Jackson.” In the TV show, he starred as a young teen actor who played the role of a secret agent in a TV show called “Silverstone.” The show lasted from 1998 to 2001 and spawned its own movie that appeared on Disney Channel in 2001.

On August 19, 2013, Young failed to show up for filming an episode of Rizzoli & Isles. Police were called to do a well-being check on him at his Los Angeles apartment, where he was found dead. His manager stated the actor had committed suicide. Police confirmed the cause of death as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Young had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, for which he had been taking medication, and had been suffering from depression before his death.
After funeral services at Inglewood Park Cemetery, Young was interred at Lakeview Memorial Garden, York, South Carolina. A three-hour memorial service was held on the Paramount Studios lot.
Young's family launched the Lee Thompson Young Foundation in an effort to help remove the stigma surrounding mental illness.[
