The family of former ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ star has accused the police in an Oregon town of botching the investigation into his death. According to a recent report by OregonLive, the family of the late star has filed a lawsuit against the city of Grants Pass, claiming that the police mishandled the investigation which led to the star’s death being ruled a suicide.
The former child star, whose identity has not been disclosed in the report, was found dead in his home in Grants Pass in 2019. The family alleges that the police failed to properly investigate the circumstances surrounding his death and did not treat the case as a potential homicide. Instead, they quickly ruled it as a suicide without conducting a thorough investigation.
In their lawsuit, the family is seeking $2.2 million in damages for emotional distress and loss of consortium. They claim that the mishandling of the investigation has left them with unanswered questions about the star’s death and has caused them significant emotional pain and suffering.
The family’s attorney has stated that they are hoping to bring attention to the shortcomings in the police department’s handling of death investigations and to hold them accountable for their actions. The city of Grants Pass has yet to comment on the lawsuit.
Overall, the family of the late former ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ star is seeking justice and closure for their loved one’s untimely death, and are determined to hold the authorities accountable for their alleged mishandling of the investigation.
