“Alf” child star Benji Gregory died at the age of 46 after being found in a parking lot

“Alf” actor Benji Gregory was found dead in a Chase Bank parking lot in Arizona last month. He was 46 years old at the time of his death.

The former child star’s sister, Rebecca, confirmed Gregory’s death on Wednesday, TMZ reports.

The cause of his death has not yet been determined.

According to the newspaper, the Maricopa County Coroner’s Office lists Gregory’s date of death on his death certificate as June 13.

Rebecca reportedly said that Gregory suffers from depression and bipolar disorder and has a sleep disorder that typically forces him to stay awake for days.

The outlet also claims that sources close to the actor believe he was at the Peoria, Arizona bank on June 12 to cash his remaining checks from his time on the famous NBC sitcom when he fell asleep in his car and died of heat stroke due to the region’s harsh summer weather.

Gregory was accompanied by his service dog Hans. The dog also died in the car.

His sister went on to say that the family is mourning Gregory and is grateful for the thoughts and good wishes during this difficult time.

She suggested that fans of the late actor could donate in Gregory’s name to causes he would support, such as the Actors Equity Foundation or the ASPCA.

Gregory became a household name during his role as Brian Tanner in “Alf.” He appeared in 101 episodes. The series aired from 1986 to 1990.

In the 1980s, he also guest-starred on The A-Team and The Twilight Zone, and appeared in a TV pilot, Window Hall, a Disney film, Mr. Boogedy, and Jumpin’ Jack Flash.

In 2003, he left Hollywood, joined the U.S. Navy and became an aircraft mate. He was honorably discharged in 2005.

His co-star Michu Meszaros, who played Alf, died in 2016 at the age of 76, and Max Wright, who appeared in the series as the father, died in 2018 after a long battle with cancer. He was 75 years old.
