Thompson Young was found dead in his LA home, after taking his own life on Monday (August 19) morning.
The Wrap states it is currently unclear when filming will resume; Janet Tamaro, executive producer from Warner Bros. TV, TNT, and the show itself released a statement expressing how “heartbroken” the cast and crew are, saying Thompson was “truly a member of our family”.
The statement reads
“Lee was more than just a brilliant young actor, he was a wonderful and gentle soul who will be truly missed. […] Lee will be cherished and remembered by all who knew and loved him, both on- and off-screen, for his positive energy, infectious smile and soulful grace”.
The PopWrapped crew sends their sincerest condolences to the family, friends and fans of the Smallville, FlashForward and Rizzoli & Isles actor.
