Famous People Who Died Without You Knowing
River Phoenix – DRUG OVERDOSE
We’re all familiar with The Joker actor Joaquin Phoenix, but before him, his older brother River broke into Hollywood and became a teen star. River started acting at age 10 and was credited in 14 movies and TV shows in his short life. This is because River passed away at the age of 23 at a club where he was supposed to perform. Struggling with drug abuse then, River overdosed on a cocktail of banned substances and collapsed even as his brother Joaquin called 911, back in 1993. Now, we can only see him in movies such as The Body, Stand by Me, Explorers, and Running on Empty.
