He was 61.

The actor was hospitalized after suffering a brain aneurysm in mid-February, Lago told CNN at the time.

Sizemore “passed away peacefully in his sleep” at Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California, with his two sons and his brother, Paul Sizemore, by his side, Lago said in a statement released on behalf of the family.

wishing the best for his loved ones

2. I'm not sad. He was an abusive predator

who attacked females, including an 11-year-old girl.

3. so sorry

his death reminded me of my dad, who shot himself and lived for six days

OVER AND OUT

4. Aww...that's beyond crappy, Skittles.

Sorry that happened to you.

[Skittles]

5. the third day was my birthday

I can relate to Mr. Sizemore's loved ones, regardless of his demons.

7. Your perspective always seems so grounded.

Sharing a personal tragedy takes strength that not everybody has. I find your posts and comments intelligent and spot on. Making the world a better place one click at a time. Thank you for being you.

[secondwind]

8. Amen. I agree with you 100 percent.

[Skittles]

12. aw shucks

thanks.....I grew up in absolute chaos but I am a firm believer you don't give up because you were dealt a bad hand.....never stop trying to make the world a better place

[trof]

10. Dang, girl

I'm so sorry.

[Skittles]

13. the call I received was

"Your dad shot himself in the head....he's not dead but he won't live another day"....my immediate response was: " I always knew he would do that"....I have never been one for denial.

he lived for six days, and the third day was my birthday.....he was 50

long time ago though.......although it's NOT true that time heals all wounds, time certainly makes things easier to bear.....

15. Oh, Skittles...

my husband blew his brains out the day after his 76th birthday. We had been separated for a year after 32 years of marriage. The call my son received was that his father had shot himself, but the caller didn't know if he was dead or at the hospital. My son went to the scene and found the police still there. His father was dead. His first attempt had been on my birthday nine months earlier, but that was only pieced together after he was discovered wandering around the street below our hillside house. Presumably he had fallen, rolled down the hill, and knocked himself unconscious. The shotgun was confiscated by the police, but sometime between that March and December he bought another one.

It's now four years ago. Time does not heal ugly.

16. so sorry

dreadful......and I truly hate it when repukes try to mitigate gun deaths by pointing out the great percentage of suicides, as if those don't count....the carnage left behind is massive too

[Polybius]

9. It's hard to believe that he not only never got charged for the molestation...

But he still got cast up until his death. I believe the girl.

11. She told her mother, it was investigated by the police

and the DA declined to press charges. She later, as an adult, sued him, but the case was thrown out. He should have been properly prosecuted at the time of the alleged offense. He was certainly a troubled man though.

6. RIP Mr. Sizemore,

he was great in Black Hawk Down.

17. They're shooting at us, sir. Well shoot back.

14. 2 weeks and 11 years ago

my wife died of a brain aneurysm. it's a slow process to die from a brain aneurysm most times. it took 21 days for my wife to die. being the person that authorized the doctor to pull the plug was the hardest decision of my life and the kindest decision of my life.
