I was never a Veronica Mars fan… but I know many who were.
Either way, this is terribly sad.
A young actor has taken his life.
Brad Bufanda — an actor best known for his role on “Veronica Mars” — has committed suicide … TMZ has learned.
A rep for Bufanda confirmed with us the actor committed suicide Wednesday. The details of his death are unclear.
Brad had a recurring role as Felix Toombs on “Veronica Mars” during seasons 1 and 2. He also appeared on other TV shows like “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Boston Public” and “Days of our Lives” … and had a part in the 2004 film, “A Cinderella Story.”
He was 34.
Suicide is such a sad thing. It leaves people’s loved ones completely wrecked… why did this person leave them? Could they have done anything to stop it?
It’s especially hard on the parents and children of those left behind. Absolutely heartbreaking for the family.
RIP, Brad
