Verne Troyer — Sad Secret Of Star’s Tragic Last Days

Verne Troyer was pronounced dead just weeks after being rushed to a hospital over suicide fears — and just one year after his last stint in rehab! But while the "Austin Powers" star reportedly fell apart while abandoned by his family, they came together in the end!

RADAR Online reported when Verne — who found fame as "Mini-Me" — was rushed to a Hollywood psych ward on April 2. A disturbing 911 call revealed the actor had become suicidal. Verne's associates originally posted a request "to keep Verne in your thoughts and prayers," and thanked "family, friends, and fans." Insiders, however, had complained Verne could only depend on his fans!

Verne revealed in April 2017 that he was going into rehab over alcohol addiction, saying: "I'm willing to continue my fight day by day." But the rush to rehab came just months after The National ENQUIRER revealed that Verne's family had cut off contact with the family. It was a tragedy for Verne, who grew up in an Amish community and had boasted in 2015 of having "a very close relationship with my parents."

When contacted by The ENQUIRER about Verne’s tragic trip to rehab, both his brother Davon and sister Deborah said they didn’t know Verne and quickly got off the phone. The boozed-up star's parents had staged an intervention for their troubled son in 2008 — “but,” said his ex-girlfriend Ranae Shrider, “Verne didn’t think he had a problem!”

That same year, Verne and Ranae broke up after a sex tape of them leaked online. The star still didn't slow down his hard-partying ways. A concerned Ranae warned after Verne's 2017 trip to rehab that her ex's friends don't provide “the best support system. They are not good influences.”

Sadly, those fears were validated when an "extremely upset" Verne was treated for possible alcohol poisoning when rushed to the hospital for the last time. But a spokesperson added after Verne's death: "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."
