And so it happened - 4 months before that day, the actor felt unwell, he took an aspirin pill and went to bed. As it turned out, an eternal sleep.

They say that he suffered and became addicted to drugs, but there is no official confirmation of this fact.
Bobby was found dead in an abandoned house, where children playing hide and seek accidentally ran. The body was mutilated, the face was unrecognizable, and therefore the actor was buried in a burial place for homeless people.
