Adam Rich Obituary What Was The Cause Of His Death?

Adam Rich’s obituary details have not been made public yet. 

According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Adam Rich, a former child actor best remembered for playing the youngest child on the ABC comedy Eight Is Enough, passed away on January 7. He was 54. 

There were no specifics provided regarding Rich’s demise. 

The former TV actor was found dead at his residence in the Los Angeles region, according to the first report from TMZ. 

Law enforcement sources told TMZ there were no indications of illegal or suspicious conduct.

While Rich’s part on “Eight Is Enough” is what made him most famous, he also made appearances on a number of TV shows and several TV movies in the late ’70s and ’80s. 

Fantasy Island, CHiPs, Small Wonder, and a voice role in the animated series “Dungeons & Dragons” are a few of the credits. 

Before taking a ten-year hiatus from on-camera work, Rich’s final TV appearance was on an episode of “Baywatch” in 1993. 

Although he struggled mightily in later years, Rich said that he was fond of working in TV series. “I’m grateful for the joy felt while working on ‘Eight’!…,” Rich said in a video interview he posted to Instagram in 2021. “I do hope it may have brought you some joy as well.”

Rich encountered legal issues in 1991 about an alleged burglary. His TV father from “Eight Is Enough,” actor Dick Van Patten, once paid his bail, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Rich took part in a 1996 hoax claiming that he had passed away, which was authored by Dave Eggers, the author of “Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius,” for Might Magazine as part of a satire on celebrity deaths.

The former child star reflected on his career in a post on Instagram in 2021, when he was a featured character in the CNN series “The History of the Sitcom.”

Rich remarked, “I’m thankful for the delight felt while working on 8!… I sincerely hope it was enjoyable for you as well.“
