R.I.P.

[livejournal.com profile] pixystardust has posted that Darryl Armstrong, who played "Tweaked Tommy" in QaF has killed himself.

He was the boy in the sling at Sap's party, and the one Justin talked to before he got all wasted.

Rest in Peace, Darryl.

Statement Announcing Death of Actor Darryl Armstrong
Released Early Sunday Morning

TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/30/2005 -- It is with great sadness that we report that early Saturday morning, Halifax born, Toronto-based actor Darryl Armstrong (23) allegedly committed suicide by jumping off a bridge on Mount Pleasant Rd. in Toronto. He was pronounced dead on arrival. Peel Regional Police continues its investigation.

It is with great sorrow that we extend our condolences and our deep-felt sympathy to his entire family. He will be missed not only by his friends and co-workers but also by the cast and crew of Showcase's "Queer as Folk" and "Degrassi Junior High."

Mr. Armstrong believed that acting was a noble calling. His belief in the ability to bring humour and emotion across the small screen and his passion for his job and the people around him was unwavering.

He was one of the brightest emerging stars on television and we will all miss him dearly.

ETA: If anyone has a pic of him you can post here, please do. My laptop is down, and it's the only computer with image capture hardware on it, or I'd do it myself.
