Murió el actor Verne Troyer, "Mini Me" en Austin Powers

El actor Verne Troyer, que se hizo famoso por interpretar a "Mini Me" en la película "Austin Powers", murió este sábado en un hospital de Los Ángeles, Estados Unidos. Tenía 49 años.

Con apenas 80 centímetros de altura, Troyer se había convertido en una figura notable de Hollywood un poco por sus papeles en "Austin Powers" o "Harry Potter", y otro poco por sus escándalos públicos y luchas en privado.

Había sido internado en un hospital por para tratar su adicción al alcohol. "A través de los años había luchado y ganado, y vuelto a luchar, pero desafortunadamente esta vez fue demasiado", expresó su familia. "La depresión y el suicidio son problemas serios. Nunca se sabe qué tipo de batalla se está librando dentro de una persona", expresaron en el mismo mensaje. "Nunca es muy tarde para buscar ayuda", agregaron. (minutouno.com)

It is with great sadness and incredibly heavy hearts to write that Verne passed away today. Verne was an extremely caring individual. He wanted to make everyone smile, be happy, and laugh. Anybody in need, he would help to any extent possible. Verne hoped he made a positive change with the platform he had and worked towards spreading that message everyday. He inspired people around the world with his drive, determination, and attitude. On film & television sets, commercial shoots, at comic-con’s & personal appearances, to his own YouTube videos, he was there to show everyone what he was capable of doing. Even though his stature was small and his parents often wondered if he’d be able to reach up and open doors on his own in his life, he went on to open more doors for himself and others than anyone could have imagined. He also touched more peoples hearts than he will ever know. Verne was also a fighter when it came to his own battles. Over the years he’s struggled and won, struggled and won, struggled and fought some more, but unfortunately this time was too much. During this recent time of adversity he was baptized while surrounded by his family. The family appreciates that they have this time to grieve privately. Depression and Suicide are very serious issues. You never know what kind of battle someone is going through inside. Be kind to one another. And always know, it’s never too late to reach out to someone for help. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation in Verne’s name to either of his two favorite charities; The Starkey Hearing Foundation and Best Buddies. Photo by @paulmobleystudio
