I wonder if this is going to be mentioned by any media....

R.I.P. Neil Hope a.k.a "Wheels" on Degrassi Jr. High
Just found out on Facebook via one of his high school friends.
He's been missing for years, and his family just found out he died back in 2007... He was estranged from his family for such a long time, his whereabouts have been unknown until now. He apparently struggled with addiction issues but on twitter it says he died of natural causes.
I used to hear about him working at Money Mart on Lakeshore & Islington in Toronto and getting upset that people recognized him from Degrassi.
....Child stardom, sounds like it's a killer.
