An Illinois hunter has died after being shot in the face by someone in his
hunting party, an official with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources said
Saturday.

The department said in a written statement that its law enforcement arm is
investigating the shooting death of Seth Egelhoff, 26, of Chesterfield,
Illinois.

Someone called 911 around 1 p.m. Saturday to report that Egelhoff had been shot
while hunting waterfowl in the Bays Branch Wildlife Area, just north of Panora,
according to the statement. Emergency medics rushed Egelhoff to a spot to be
picked up by a medical helicopter, but he died en route, the department said.

Conservation Officer Jeremy King said the shooting appeared to be accidental.
The Guthrie County Sheriff's Office and the Iowa State Patrol are helping in the
investigation.

The wildlife area is about 40 miles (64 kilometers) northwest of Des Moines.


LOOK: 23 CHILD ACTORS WHO DIED YOUNG

Stacker compiled a list of 23 child actors who died young using various sources,
including news articles, interviews, and more.

Corey Haim, 38

COREY HAIM, 38

Corey Haim was a full-blown star at just 16, best known for his roles in "The
Lost Boys" and "Dream a Little Dream." He and fellow actor Corey Feldman
famously comprised the Two Coreys, two of the biggest heartthrobs of the '80s.
As a child star, Haim was exposed to and struggled with substance use, which
continued through his adulthood.

After his long-fought battle with the industry, the alleged sexual abuse he
endured, and dealing with drug addiction, Haim died at 38 from complications
caused by pneumonia in 2010. An autopsy report indicated his prolonged drug use
may have weakened his heart, which was enlarged when he died.


Brad Renfro, 25

Banner Entertainment // Getty Images


BRAD RENFRO, 25

Brad Renfro was barely a teenager when director Joel Schumacher discovered and
cast him in 1994's "The Client" alongside Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones.
The film—and the attention it garnered—shifted Renfro's career into high gear
almost immediately. He went on to star in other '90s movies like Disney's "Tom
and Huck" and 1996's "Sleepers," but Renfro struggled to recreate the success of
his film debut and was coping with substance use issues.

In 1998, Renfro was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana and got
sober soon after. However, trouble continued following him into the early 2000s;
he died of a heroin and morphine overdose at age 25 in January 2008.


Dana Plato, 34

DANA PLATO, 34

After discontinuing figure skating and pursuing acting, 14-year-old Dana Plato
was cast as one of the young stars of "Diff'rent Strokes" in 1978. While the hit
TV show aired until 1986, Plato was written off in 1984 after becoming pregnant.
She had also come under suspicion of drug use at this time.

Though she continued making guest appearances on "Diff'rent Strokes," things
remained rocky for Plato, who struggled to find sustainable work, posing for
Playboy and starring in B-movies instead. In 1991, she was arrested and placed
on probation for robbing a Las Vegas video store.

In an attempt to revive her career, Plato agreed to an interview with Howard
Stern on May 7, 1999; however, things took an awkward and uncomfortable turn
when listeners accused her of being under the influence, and she was challenged
to take a drug test on air. The next day, 34-year-old Plato died from an
overdose of Valium and painkillers, with speculation suggesting her death was
intentional.

Nearly 11 years to the day after her death, Plato's son, Tyler Lambert, died by
suicide in May 2010.

LEE THOMPSON YOUNG - 1

Lee Thompson Young made a name for himself in Hollywood at an early age. He
landed the lead role on Disney Channel's "The Famous Jett Jackson" when he was
just 13, and later appeared in successful movies like "Friday Night Lights" and
"Akeelah and The Bee."

When Young—who reportedly struggled with mental health issues, including bipolar
disorder and clinical depression—didn't show up for a taping of his latest
project, "Rizzoli & Isles," in August 2013, police did a welfare check at his
Los Angeles home. The actor was found dead from a reported self-inflicted
gunshot wound.

In the wake of his death, his family launched the Lee Thompson Young Foundation
to dispel the stigma surrounding mental illness.


Jonathan Brandis, 27

JONATHAN BRANDIS, 27

Jonathan Brandis entered the business at age 2, beginning as a child model and
appearing in commercials before making his acting debut on "One Life to Live" at
age 6.

By 17, Brandis had an impressive résumé, which included "The NeverEnding Story
II: The Next Chapter" and the 1990 miniseries "Stephen King's It." However, his
role as teen prodigy Lucas Wolenczak on the underwater science fiction drama
"SeaQuest DSV" made him a teen heartthrob.

Despite his early accomplishments, Brandis struggled to replicate his successes
as an adult, with friends and family noticing he'd begun drinking heavily and
lamenting the state of his career. In November 2003, at age 27, he was found
hanging in the hallway of his West Hollywood apartment. After being
hospitalized, Brandis succumbed to his injuries a day later.


Sammi Kane Kraft, 20

SAMMI KANE KRAFT, 20

Known for her role in the 2005 remake of the baseball classic "Bad News Bears,"
Junior Olympics competitor Sammi Kane Kraft was a young actor who didn't have
much chance at a career before her life was cut short. She was just 20 when she
died in a car crash on Oct. 9, 2012.

While her friend, 21-year-old Molly Kate Adams, was driving on Interstate 10 in
Los Angeles, the car slammed into the back of a semitruck and was then struck
from behind by another vehicle. Kraft, sitting in the passenger seat during the
collision, was pronounced dead at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center. Adams, who
survived the crash, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.



River Phoenix, 23

RIVER PHOENIX, 23

River Phoenix grew up in the infamous Children of God cult, and his parents
encouraged him and his four siblings—including famous actors Joaquin and Summer
Phoenix—to get into film.

River started doing commercials at 10, and by age 15, he made his film debut in
1985's "Explorers." The following year, his back-to-back successes in "Stand by
Me," "The Mosquito Coast," and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" made him a
household name. He earned his first Academy Award nomination (for "Running on
Empty") at 18 and became critically acclaimed at 21 for his performance in "My
Own Private Idaho" alongside Keanu Reeves.

The night before Halloween in 1993, 23-year-old Phoenix died after infamously
collapsing outside the Viper Room in Los Angeles due to cardiac arrest from
overdosing on heroin and cocaine.


Gary Coleman, 42

GARY COLEMAN, 42

Like Dana Plato, lovable child actor Gary Coleman starred on the hit '80s
television show "Diff'rent Strokes." Famous for his side-eye long before the
world could meme it, Coleman's character, Arnold Jackson, became wildly popular
for his catchphrase "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?"

Coleman's character and phrase became such a part of the cultural zeitgeist that
the actor couldn't shake it; most of his television and film appearances
afterward saw Coleman depict himself and reference the character that made him
famous.

In May 2010, Coleman suffered a hemorrhagic stroke caused by a head injury he
sustained from a fall. He was taken off life support days later and died at 42.


Anton Yelchin, 27

Tommaso Boddi // Getty Images


ANTON YELCHIN, 27

Anton Yelchin got his big break at 12 with two impressive appearances in the
2001 films "Along Came a Spider" and "Hearts in Atlantis."

While many child actors find their careers fizzling out as they age, Yelchin was
the opposite; he continued scoring high-profile parts, from his role as Zack
Mazursky in the heartbreaking 2006 film "Alpha Dog" to his integral role as
Pavel Chekov in 2009's "Star Trek" reboot.

In June 2016, at just 27, Yelchin died in a freak accident when his Jeep Grand
Cherokee rolled backward in his driveway, pinning the actor against his brick
gate. He died at the scene from traumatic asphyxiation. After his death, his
family eventually sued—and settled—with the Fiat Chrysler company.



Christopher Pettiet, 24

Touchstone Pictures // Getty Images


CHRISTOPHER PETTIET, 24

The dark comedy "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" was a '90s classic
starring Christina Applegate as 17-year-old Sue Ellen Crandell, the oldest of
the Crandell kids, whose rancorous babysitter dies while their mom is away for
the summer. Young actor Christopher Pettiet played Sue's lovestruck 14-year-old
brother, Zach, and soon became the quintessential crush of young '90s viewers.

Even before the 1991 film, Pettiet made a name for himself on television,
appearing on series like "Doogie Howser, M.D." and "Star Trek: The Next
Generation," among others. However, his career was cut short in April 2000: He
died at 24 from an accidental overdose.


Heather O'Rourke, 12

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer // Getty Images


HEATHER O'ROURKE, 12

When 1982's "Poltergeist" arrived—exposing viewers to a haunted house, spirits
trapped inside a TV, and a little girl who could talk to them—audiences were
transfixed. It was pure, otherworldly, yet somehow rooted in enough reality to
trigger your deepest fears. Heather O'Rourke played the little girl, whose
blonde hair, big blue eyes, and famous line, "They're here," bespelled watchers
everywhere.

Six years after the film premiered, O'Rourke died unexpectedly following two
cardiac arrests at age 12. An autopsy later concluded she had a congenital
intestinal abnormality that caused a blockage. Her death seemed to add to the
rumors that the "Poltergeist" franchise was "cursed," as multiple cast members
had died either during or not long after filming.


Judith Barsi, 10

JUDITH BARSI, 10

While you probably don't know her name, you may recognize Judith Barsi's voice
as the sweet and bubbly Ducky from the 1988 blockbuster film "The Land Before
Time" or as Anne-Marie in 1989's "All Dogs Go to Heaven." Sadly, Barsi wasn't
alive for the release of either film; her father, József Barsi, killed her and
her mother in their Los Angeles home in a double murder-suicide.

According to reports, József struggled with alcohol use and was quick to anger.
Allegedly, he also spoke of his desire to murder his family—and on July 25,
1988, he finally acted on that urge. After shooting his 10-year-old daughter and
his wife, Maria, he doused them with gasoline and set them alight before turning
the gun on himself.

Ducky's signature line "Yep! Yep! Yep!" is inscribed on Judith's gravestone.



Ashleigh Aston Moore, 26

New Line Cinema // Getty Images


ASHLEIGH ASTON MOORE, 26

Ashleigh Aston Moore was only 13 when she played the lovable, obedient Chrissy
in 1995's "Now and Then." Encouraged to act by her first-grade teacher, Moore
went on to land commercial gigs and breakthrough roles on 1992's "The Odyssey,"
playing both Alpha and Donna, which earned her the 6th Annual YTV Achievement
Award.

Moore also starred in several made-for-TV films like 1994's "Sin and Redemption"
and "Beyond Obsession" and appeared in an episode of "Touched by an Angel" in
1997. Still, those roles paled compared to Moore's unforgettable character
Chrissy, who captured audiences' hearts and foreshadowed what looked to be a
bright career ahead for the young actor.

Tragically, on Dec. 10, 2007, Moore died from an accidental overdose at 26.


Cameron Boyce, 20

CAMERON BOYCE, 20

Cameron Boyce did a little bit of everything during his short life. The dancer,
actor, and singer was known for his role on Disney Channel's "Descendants"
franchise and his appearance in the 2010 Adam Sandler movie "Grown Ups." Young
fans were shocked in July 2019 when Boyce died from an epileptic seizure at 20.
He had been diagnosed with epilepsy at 16, and his family said he'd only had
five or six seizures until then.


Nikita Pearl Waligwa, 15

Walt Disney Pictures


NIKITA PEARL WALIGWA, 15

Nikita Pearl Waligwa only appeared in one film before her untimely death. The
young star of Disney's "Queen of Katwe," a coming-of-age tale about a Ugandan
chess prodigy, managed to hold her own alongside Academy Award winner Lupita
N'yongo. Sadly, the Ugandan actor was living with a brain tumor, and on Feb. 15,
2020, she succumbed to complications at 15.



Tara Correa-McMullen, 16

Twentieth Century Fox


TARA CORREA-MCMULLEN, 16

The short-lived career of Tara Correa-McMullen was a tragic case of life
imitating art. The young actor starred on "Judging Amy" as teen gang member
Graciela Reyes, who sought to make a better life for herself before being killed
in prison. In real life, at 16, the teen actor had already moved into her own
apartment and was on her way to a promising life in Hollywood.

However, according to her friends, the star had begun hanging out with a
dangerous crowd; others alleged she was dating a man who was a suspected gang
member and 10 years her senior, per Los Angeles Times. Whatever the situation
was, it resulted in Correa-McMullen's murder in October 2005; she'd been talking
with friends when she was killed in a drive-by shooting.


Scotty Beckett, 38

Hulton Archive // Getty Images


SCOTTY BECKETT, 38

Scotty Beckett was one of the most successful child stars of the '30s and '40s.
He played Spanky's best friend, Scotty, on the series "Our Gang" (later known as
"The Little Rascals"). Although his part was eventually replaced by the
better-known Alfalfa character (Carl Switzer, who also appears on this list),
Beckett's career continued to skyrocket, going on to land parts in movies
alongside such stars as Greta Garbo, Cary Grant, and Marilyn Monroe.

In the '40s, he faced his first drunk-driving arrest, and in the early '50s, he
was fired from the popular TV show "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger" after being
arrested on concealed weapons charges. Beckett's legal issues persisted, leading
to another DUI and an arrest in Mexico, where he'd allegedly crossed the border
with illegal drugs.

In 1968, Beckett was found dead at 38, potentially due to an intentional
overdose of barbiturates or alcohol.


Carl Switzer, 32

Hal Roach Studios


CARL SWITZER, 32

Another child actor from "Our Gang" who died young was Carl Switzer, also known
as the beloved, cowlick-sporting Alfalfa. After being typecast as a
freckle-faced kid with a whimsical innocence, an older Switzer struggled to get
roles in Hollywood. Later in life, he would take on a very different gig: as a
hunting guide leading expeditions and training hunting dogs.

After a dispute over a hunting dog that ran away during an expedition in 1959,
Switzer and a friend went to the dog owner's house to confront him about a fee
he felt he was owed. An altercation arose, and while stories from witnesses and
the parties involved were conflicted, Switzer was shot and killed at age 32.



Billy Laughlin, 16

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer


BILLY LAUGHLIN, 16

A disturbing number of "Our Gang" cast members met tragic, premature ends. Much
like the "Poltergeist" franchise, people believed the show was cursed, as other
series alumni like Carl Switzer and Scotty Beckett also died at an early age.

Billy Laughlin, who played Froggy, led a normal teen life post-series until it
was cut short. One late summer day in 1948, Laughlin was riding on a motor
scooter with a friend on his morning paper route when they collided with an
oncoming truck. Laughlin died in the hospital from his injuries at 16.


Rob Knox, 18

BEN STANSALL // Getty Images


ROB KNOX, 18

Teen actor Rob Knox played Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby in 2009's "Harry
Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." In May 2008, the 18-year-old had just
finished filming the movie when he found himself at a Southeast London bar,
where a group of men threatened his younger brother.

The men got into a scuffle, and things escalated outside when one of them, armed
with two knives, began stabbing Knox and his friends. At least six people were
injured in the fight, but Knox—who witnesses said had been stabbed in the
head—died not long after arriving at the hospital.

A 2021 documentary called "(K)nox: The Rob Knox Story" featured interviews with
former "Harry Potter" cast members and footage from the franchise's set that
told the story of Knox's life and death in greater detail. It won best
documentary at the London Independent Film Festival that same year.

JOSH RYAN EVANS - 1

In 1999, NBC introduced a new daytime soap to the mix called "Passions," which
produced the show's scene-stealing star, Josh Ryan Evans, better known as the
enchanted doll Timmy Lenox. Evans was born with a form of dwarfism called
achondroplasia, and even though he was 17 when "Passions" started, he appeared
younger.

He played Timmy for three years, earning a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2000 for
the role. Due to complications from his condition, Evans was written off the
show in 2002, but not before he filmed a death scene for a future episode.
Shortly after his exit, Evans underwent surgery and suffered complications that
caused his death at age 20 on Aug. 5, 2002.

In an odd twist of timing, the "Passions" episode featuring Timmy's death on
screen aired the same day the actor died in real life.



Jon Paul Steuer, 33

Vinnie Zuffante // Getty Images


JON PAUL STEUER, 33

The '90s hit comedy series "Grace Under Fire" starred Brett Butler as a single
mother with a smart mouth and a hustle mentality. At 9, child actor Jon Paul
Steuer was cast to play her son Quentin Kelly. The young star appeared on the
show for three years before his parents pulled him off the series in 1996,
alleging Butler had created an inappropriate environment for the
then-12-year-old actor. (Accusations soon followed that Butler exposed herself
to Steuer on set.)

Steuer struggled to find work after "Grace Under Fire," causing him to quit
acting entirely. After bouncing from job to job—and starting a few bands along
the way—Steuer invested in a vegan restaurant in Portland, Oregon, that
flourished.

Though his life seemed on an upturn, the former actor's struggles persisted. At
33, he died in his home from a self-inflicted headshot wound on Jan. 1, 2018.


Bobby Driscoll, 31

FilmPublicityArchive // Getty Images


BOBBY DRISCOLL, 31

Bobby Driscoll was one of the original Disney child stars, appearing in '40s and
'50s movies like "Treasure Island" and "So Dear to My Heart." Driscoll earned a
special Juvenile Actor Oscar for his poignant turn as Tommy in 1949's "The
Window," and in the 1953 animated feature film "Peter Pan," the then-16-year-old
actor voiced the titular boy who refused to grow up.

Later in life, Driscoll had quite various run-ins with the law, along with
stints in rehab. He had also earned a reputation for being less than easy to
work with, which haunted him even after he got sober and prevented him from
getting work. In the 1960s, Driscoll wound up unhoused in New York City and
without resources.

By 1968, the years of drug use hardened his arteries, a side effect of heroin
use, and he died at age 31. Driscoll's body was discovered by two boys while
playing in an abandoned tenement in Greenwich Village.
