Godinama se borio i pobeđivao, ali ovu je bitku nažalost izgubio: Preminuo najpoznatiji patuljak na svetu, legenda filmova "Ostin Pauers"

Uzrok smrti još uvek nije zvanično potvrđen, a kako se navodi glumac je imao problem sa alkoholizmom, pa je prošlog meseca bio hospotalizovan zbog toga.

Na njegovom zvaničnom Instagram porfilu objavljeno je saopštenje:

It is with great sadness and incredibly heavy hearts to write that Verne passed away today. Verne was an extremely caring individual. He wanted to make everyone smile, be happy, and laugh. Anybody in need, he would help to any extent possible. Verne hoped he made a positive change with the platform he had and worked towards spreading that message everyday. He inspired people around the world with his drive, determination, and attitude. On film & television sets, commercial shoots, at comic-con’s & personal appearances, to his own YouTube videos, he was there to show everyone what he was capable of doing. Even though his stature was small and his parents often wondered if he’d be able to reach up and open doors on his own in his life, he went on to open more doors for himself and others than anyone could have imagined. He also touched more peoples hearts than he will ever know. Verne was also a fighter when it came to his own battles. Over the years he’s struggled and won, struggled and won, struggled and fought some more, but unfortunately this time was too much. During this recent time of adversity he was baptized while surrounded by his family. The family appreciates that they have this time to grieve privately. Depression and Suicide are very serious issues. You never know what kind of battle someone is going through inside. Be kind to one another. And always know, it’s never too late to reach out to someone for help. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation in Verne’s name to either of his two favorite charities; The Starkey Hearing Foundation and Best Buddies. Photo by @paulmobleystudio

U saopštenju njegovog portparola se pominje depresija glumca i suicidalno ponašanje.

Vern je bio borac kada su u pitanju bile njegove bitke. Tokom godina se mučio i pobeđivao, mučio i iznova borio, ali, nažalost, ovaj put je bilo previše. U tom periodu neprestane borbe on se krstio okružen porodicom. Depresija i samoubistvo su veoma ozbiljne stvari. Nikada ne znate kakve bitke neko bije u sebi. Budite ljubazni jedni prema drugima i uvek znajte da nikada nije kasno da se nekome obratite za pomoć. Umesto cveća, osećajte se slobodno da u Vernovo ime date donaciju bilo kojoj od njegove dve omiljene humanitarne organizacije - Fondaciji Starki Hiring i Best Badis", navedeno je.

Vernova najznačajninja uloga bila je Mini-Mi, klona Majk Majersovog Doktora Ivl u filmovima "Ostin Pauers. Pored toga glumio je u još 58 filmova i televizijskih emisija.

Vern je imao starijeg barta i mlađu sestru a njgovo roditelji su bili Amiši.

Roditelji su me naučili da uvek budem optimista i nezavistan. Naučili su me da mogu postići sve ako se potrudim, a to mi je mnogo znaćilo u životu. Nikada me nisu tretirali drugačije. Ja sam nosio drva i hranio životinje na farmi", reko je Vern u jednom saopštenju.
