Verne Troyer Passes Away At 49

His family reported that he had sadly passed away on Saturday. TMZ were told he was on some form of life support since being taken to the hospital earlier this month after cops got a report he was drunk and suicidal, and was treated for possible alcohol poisoning. He had struggled with alcoholism for years and had been to rehab many times. His family stated that "he was baptized while surrounded by his family." 
 
Verne Troyer was a Monday Night RAW guest host back on the November 30th 2009 edition of RAW. The reason he ended up being a guest host was because of Seth Green, and he just said he had a great time during Summerslam of that year. 
 
He grew up with a genetic disorder known as achondroplasia dwarfism, and said that he was not treated any differently being raised on a farm by his family due to his size. 
 
Verne began his Hollywood career in 1994 when he became a stunt double for Baby Bink in the film "Baby's Day Out." He then landed roles in "Men in Black", and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" . before making it big as Mini-Me in 1999's "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me."
 
You may also know him from reality shows like "Celebrity Juice," "Celebrity Wife Swap," and "The Surreal Life.".
