I wonder if any of this had to do with fame early in life, or if it's just a coincidence, and we notice it more when it's someone we "know".

okay, this is better info than I had. So I revise, poor lovely Matthew Garber did not come to a bad end, but a tragically young end. I only found this out by watching the extras on the Poppins DVD. I'm relieved, as far as this reports, that it was not yet another in a long line of former child actor drug-related ends. Nevertheless, so sad, he was an adorable boy. This reminds me, is The Three Lives of Thomasina on DVD?
