Benji Gregory’s body was discovered on June 13 in the state of Arizona.
Benji Gregory has passed away. According to a number of news sources, the young actor who portrayed Brian Tanner on American Love Letters in the 1980s passed away on June 13 for reasons that have not yet been confirmed. He was 46 years old.
Benji’s body was discovered inside his vehicle in the parking lot of a bank in Peoria, Arizona, according to Rebecca, the actor’s sister, who also reported the news to TMZ, which was the first to publish it.
Rebecca is under the impression that her brother, who suffered from mental health issues such as depression and bipolar illness, as well as a sleep condition that might keep him awake for days, passed away as a result of vehicular heatstroke when he was sleeping in his vehicle throughout the course of the summer.
Rebecca shared with the source that Benji was accompanied by his service dog, Hans, who sadly passed away as a result of the tragedy.
Rebecca informed the source that individuals may send gifts to the Actors Equity Foundation or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) with the intention of honoring Benji.
Benji began his career on television by appearing as a guest on a number of shows, including The A-Team, Punky Brewster, and The Twilight Zone. Benji played the role of the middle kid in the family who had an extraterrestrial staying in their house on the television show ALF. Max Wright, Anne Schedeen, and Andrea Elson were all involved in the production of the series.
According to the publication, Benji quit the entertainment industry to serve in the United States Navy, from which he received an honorable medical release in 2005. This was after he had played the role of Brian on more than one hundred episodes of American League Football.
