Dana Plato's Son Tyler Lambert Commits Suicide Nearly 11 Years after his Mom Overdosed This is some sad shit . . .  
The troubled legacy of "Diff'rent Strokes" actress Dana Plato continues with the death of the actress's only son Tyler Lambert. Like his famous mother, Lambert, 25, committed suicide on May 6, just days before Mother's Day and the 11th anniversary of Plato's 1999 death from a drug overdose. The Tulsa, Okla., office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed to ABCNews.com that Lambert died last week from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. Toxicology test results are still pending. Lambert was just 14 when his mother took her own life at age 34 with an overdose of prescription pills on May 8, 1999. Plato married Lambert's father Lanny Lambert in 1984 and gave birth to their son a year later. The couple divorced in 1990, and Lanny Lambert was given custody of Tyler, who apparently never got over his mother's death. Plato seemed to have a bright future ahead of her when she landed the role of Kimberly Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes." The show was a hit from its 1978 premiere, and Plato charmed audiences. But she was written off the series in 1984 amid rumors of drug use, and she struggled to find other roles. In 1989, Plato bared all for Playboy and began starring in B-movies. From there, she dabbled in softcore pornography, including a 1997 feature based on her "Diff'rent Strokes" past. Meanwhile, legal and substance abuse problems plagued the actress. In 1991 she was arrested attempting to rob a video store at gunpoint, and the following year she was arrested for forging a Valium prescription. Plato's drug addiction eventually took her life -- she died after overdosing on Vanadom and Vicodin. | |

Maybe this is all depression related. Maybe they have a mental illness and were prone to suicidal thoughts and actions? Very sad.
Reminds me of Alexander McQueen and his mum. | |
