What had happened is that he had deposit his check at a chase bank atm and he got back in his car and fell asleep. He suffered from depression and a sleeping disorder that he would be up for days. He lived in Arizona and yes, it was miserably hot last month with temps in 113+

@RyanSmith6644, I was just thinking about this the other day! I had googled up a country singer I had listened to as a child just out of curiosity and I was shocked how old they had appeared. Made me sad but it was nostalgic remembering the songs they sang. My 90’s mix tape/CDs were all over the place 🎶 😅

For comparison. The Germans had done MEISTER EDER UND SEIN PUMUCKL, about a craftsman and his Kobold -Leprechaun also on KZread but in German The Kobold really was a handfull like Alf :)
His sister also said he suffered from depression and was "bipolar." He and his service dog died in his car in a Chase Bank parking lot. So sad.

RIP Benji Gregory and your service dog, I loved watching alf when I was younger and still enjoy it today.
I was a huge fan of Alf when I was a kid, had the stuffed animal and all (I still have it actually). May he rest in peace, and I thank him for being a part of my childhood ❤️
I'm sad. When child actors pass away, it feels like they take a piece of your childhood with them.
I feel so bad for the service dog; that dog deserved way better :(
Wow big shock grew up on ALF 😲😳😱. RIP Benji Gregory 😢💔🕊️🌹🙏🏼.

What a way to report the story. They left out the part where he chose to sit in a hot car with windows shut and die. The dog didn't have a way of getting out. Poor dog.

He chose to? I was thinking he had a medical condition or a heart attack that caused him to pass out and the heat ultimately killed him. They left out the whole suicide part.

My father almost never watched TV except for the news and Johnny Carson's jokes monologue at the beginning of "The Tonight's Show." But my dad loved to watch ALF. RIP Dad and Benji. 🧡🧡🙏🙏
So young and so sad. Condolences to his family. May he Rest in Peace
Rip from small-town Australia where I'd watch that show as a kid. Was very popular here.
This is so sad!
RIP 😔🕯🤍 Very sad how he died and so young. I loved the ALF series as a child and it's still one of my favorite comedy series today. I watched all the episodes again a while ago.
Es ist schlimm das Benji Gregory so ums leben gekommen ist, mit ihm geht ein Stück unserer Jugend!😔 Alf war damals für viele ein absolutes muss ihn im TV zu sehen! Ich persönlich bin froh, dass ich mir vor langer Zeit der kompletten Staffeln von ALF auf DVD gesichert habe und weiß echt nicht wie oft ich die Serie mit meinen Kids schon angeschaut habe!😊 Was echt schade ist oder war das die Serie nicht mehr weiter ging, sondern nur 2 Filme folgten! Die Serie neu zu erfinden wäre echt eine Bereicherung für viele ALF Fans gewesen. So bleibt halt nur die Erinnerungen und die Folgen die hin und wieder bei Nitro laufen. Ruhe in Frieden Benji✝️
What a tragedy..such a young age! My family and I loved that show, there aren’t any more shows on that families can watch together. RIP Benji Gregory 🙏💔😢🕊️
