Details regarding Adam Rich’s marital status are not yet known. Some sources suggest that he was unmarried and did not have a spouse. He was very private about his romantic life.
Reports state that he was unattached at the time of his passing.
On Sunday, January 8, 2023, TMZ reported the unfortunate passing of the child actor Adam Rich at 54, citing a family member.
Adam, best known for his role as Nicholas, the youngest member of the Bradford family in the TV series Eight Is Enough, has passed away. He gained fame as a child.
The outlet continued, “He passed away at his home in the Los Angeles area, although the report does not include any details about the cause of death.”
Rich passed away on Saturday in the Los Angeles suburb of Brentwood, according to Lt. Aimee Earl of the Los Angeles County Medical-Examiner Coroner’s office.
While the cause of death was under investigation, there were no suspicious circumstances.
However, at least for now, there are no suspicions of foul play, according to a law enforcement source.
Rich’s publicist, Danny Deraney, described Rich as an amazing person in a statement.
Deraney penned, “He was kind, generous, and a fighter in the battle against mental illness. “Adam had no ego at all, and he was selfless, always thinking about the people he cared about. Because of this, many people who grew up with him feel like they have lost a piece of their happy childhood.”
His representative said, “He truly was America’s Little Brother.”
