Sorry he passed away as such an early age but I never heard of him. Never watched much TV.
A stroke is a terrible thing. My dad had one at age 52 . He recovered but never the same.. Passed away at my age now.

Perry's passing reminds me a little of the sudden and untimely passing of actor John Ritter back in 2003. Just a few days shy of his 55th birthday, he suffered an aortic dissection, mistakenly treated as a heart attack.

There are cases of brain bleeds caused by abnormal arteries that could have been there from birth. Of course, I don't know what his health status or smoking status was, but still, very sad to be gone so young.

Looks like Luke Perry was good about getting legal affairs ahead of time in case of death:
 Quote:
|
When Luke Perry, whose full name was Coy Luther Perry III, died on March 4, 2019, he was surrounded by family and loved ones. Tragically, the actor -- who rose to fame playing a teenage heart-throb on Beverly Hills 90210 -- died from a condition that almost everyone thinks of as one that only strikes "old" people. Fortunately, Perry's foresight to do the proper estate planning meant that the tragedy was not made worse for his family

The decision to allow Perry to die - when he was healthy and vibrant less than a week earlier - must have been difficult. The fact that the hospital allowed Perry's family to end life support means that Luke Perry likely had executed the proper legal documents so that his family could make the decision. Specifically, in California, those wishes generally are made in writing, through an Advance Directive or a Power of Attorney. Without a proper legal document, Luke Perry's family may have needed an order from a probate court to terminate life support, at least if family members disagreed. That would have been a public and emotional process that would have prolonged his suffering and made it even harder for his family.
