Child Star Curses: 6 Celebrities Who Died After Fame

ALF alum was found dead, along with his service dog, in his car on June 13. He was 46.

He parked his vehicle in a bank parking lot in Peoria, Ariz., on the evening of June 12 before depositing the residence checks. However, he never got out of the car alive again.

His sister, Rebecca Hertzberg-Pfaffinger, confirmed the news in a statement on Facebook.

“He fell asleep and died from vehicular heatstroke,” said Hertzberg-Pfaffinger. “Ben was a great Son, Brother and Uncle. He was fun to be around and made us laugh quite often. Still, going through his things, I find myself laughing at little videos or notes of his, in between crying.”

Gregory also had roles in Punky Brester, Thompson’s Last Run and Murphy Brown.
