Just in case anybody was in too cheery a mood...
Thirty-six years ago today, two children in the Bowery came across the body of a homeless drug addict in a tenement building. As no one could identify the individual, he was buried as a John Doe in a pauper's grave. A year later, due to a chance fingerprint check, it was discovered that the man they had buried was actually Bobby Driscoll.
Driscoll was 31 at the time of his death.
Which only goes to prove that if working under the terms of a boilerplate Disney juvenile contract doesn't kill you right away, eventually New York shall. (Or something like that, anyway.)

(Who stopped to kick all the garbage off of Driscoll's "Walk of Fame" star nearly every day whilst shooting "Where The Day Takes You" on Hollywood Blvd.)
