Dana Plato's Son takes his life


Y'all remember the tragic life of Dana Plato. The teen star who had it all and lost everything due to drugs and abuse.

Well after 11 years from her suicide, Her son, Tyler, took his own life.
Tyler Lambert, son of 'Diff'rent Strokes' star Dana Plato, committed suicide on May 6, almost exactly 11 years after his mother ended her life. Lambert was 25.

The Tulsa, Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner told
PopEater that Lambert (pictured above in 1999) died from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. Toxicology tests are pending. Though the office had no more information at this time, the National Enquirer alleges Lambert suffered depression surrounding the anniversary of his mother's death and descended into a drug binge prior to his suicide.

In reports from a not-yet-online National Enquirer piece, Lambert's grandmother said, "Tyler wanted to be with his mother. His father Lanny (Lambert, Plato's ex-husband) is devastated."

So sad.

That is so HORRIBLE!
He was probably never able to get it together after losing her. Sad, Sad, and sad.
It's really difficult to laugh at Different Strokes given the fact that all the cast members went to ruin...Todd bridges has gotten it together but still...
