Judith Barsi's story just breaks my heart every time I hear it. At least she's in a much better place now. ❤

[@RobynNewberry]

Me too. Her father was a horrible man and a coward!

[@adopted_pets_rock]

What is even more heartbreaking is how many people knew about the abuse for so long.

[@zellrang]

Judith Barsi's death is the most shocking news to me... I only knew of it this year due to some meme song "ruin your childhood" on youtube... I love ducky a lot, that I always mimic her "no, no, no...." sometimes... both "Lands Before Time" and "All dogs go to heaven" are my most favorite movies too... RIP

Rest in peace all the Former Child Stars

[@panowa8319]

Bobby Driscoll, who was a Disney child star, from such classics as "Song of the South" and "Treasure Island" was better known as the voice and rotoscoping capture of the titular star of the animated film "Peter Pan" should be on this list. Since he grew up, Disney just "tossed him out," and he couldn't get any acting roles. Sadly, he passed away penniless at the age of 31. He is buried on a pauper's grave without a marking.

[@chesiedengun]

Omg, that is so sad. No one to honor that poor soul at his death. 😢😢

[@tiffprendergast7]

So sad

[@annikajacobsen5205]

This list should make every parent keep their kids away from Hollywood and fame!

[@raymondacosta4150]

“Nobody noticed”?!? “Celebrities who quietly passed away” would be a little more demure and mindful. 😉 ❤

[@BanaiFeldstein]

Especially with "even though he died over a decade ago, it hasn't been forgotten". So, nobody noticed or nobody forgot?

[@Rattwap]

Heather O’Rourke’s Poltergeist character was Carolann, not Carol.

[@dangerousdavescott]

While "Nobody Noticed" could apply to many of these actors, it implies that their passing didn't make the news at the time of their deaths. But many of these were extremely high profile particularly Heather O'Rourke and Cameron Boyce or were high profile enough stars in their day, like Corey Haim and Dustin Diamond that their deaths made big headlines for days. Plus the Different Strokes kids are poster children for the dangers to child actors growing up within the entertainment industry so Gary Coleman and Dana Plato will always live on as cautionary tales causing continual reforms within the industry. These are passings that were well known when they happened unless you lived under a rock with no access to outside media whatsoever. I'm glad these actors are being remembered and recognized, but this is another example of a list made by an ignorant younger producer who makes the assumption that "Nobody Noticed" because they didn't live through these events and didn't personally know of the deaths of these performers.

[@tiffprendergast7]

Not all of them were kids anymore

[@giabarrone7422]

Dustin Diamond? He was not famous when he died.

[@danagunn2693]

Brad Renfro didn’t start acting out until after Apt Pupil. Considering what’s come out about the director in the proceeding years I would say something happened on that set.

[@RobynNewberry]

I loved him in the movie, The client. He was extremely talented!

[@417Theory]

Might be one of the few in this ridiculous video that I'm sad about his passing

[@lolamurder1882]

I 100% believe this, especially after all the other stories about that set. He didn't have many adults in his life who seemed to care about him. He could have gone on to do great things.

[@giabarrone7422]

I went to school with a kid who was an extra on Apt Pupil. His behavior got him kicked out. After the news came out, it all made sense.

[@Bhallmed]

Saying “nobody noticed” is very insulting to these people and the families that loved them. That title is shameful. But, hey you got a click and a view, so your mission is accomplished, by insulting these people’s memories by calling them “unnoticed”.

[@andyarellanoChannel]

Overdose is the most common in this video.

[@zombie821]

"accidental overdose" just sounds ridiculous, why does this happen so often in america? something about this system really stinks

[@michaellopez68]

Accidental overdoses happen everywhere What usually happens is the person stops using for a while and the body’s tolerance reduces The accident comes when the person decides to use again & uses the same dose they were using before they stopped - usually a large dose They system can handle the substance as it once did and the person can go into cardiac arrest

[@marie-jo2604]

@@michaellopez68 not happened everywhere only white peoples thing

[@zombie821]

@@michaellopez68 It's strange, in Germany, for example, this rarely happens because you are examined by a doctor and the dose is prescribed by him, plus you can only get higher doses with a doctor and then it tends to be more harmless drugs. If you search the internet, you will find that this happens mainly in America or in countries with poorer health care

[@michaellopez68]

@@zombie821 you’re speaking about medication Where that is the case in the States that only doctors can prescribe drugs, it doesn’t mean the did it properly (see the current opioid crises in America) Most “accidental overdoses” involve drugs like heroin, etc and are usually a way for the family to not disclose which drugs were in a person’s system

[@ItzMzJulez2U]

Skye Bartusiak also played the younger ‘Missy Davis’ in ‘Love Comes Softly.’ Even tho she’s only in the one movie of the prequel/sequel series, she was a pivotal character. I watch often on the PixL TV channel. R.I.P. to all these child stars.😔

Is it me or everyone that when someone "leaves too soon on purpose", we just feel like we could have helped them. They could be across the world and we don't know a single thing about their personal lives but when you hear about a celeb or random person doing it, you just feel like you failed them. That we as a species didn't do our part somehow. I just always have guilt for awhile when I hear that specific tragedy even if I didn't know them or of them.
