Eric Douglas, son of Kirk Douglas, was found dead in an apartment building earlier today. He had previously been nominated for an Emmy for an appearance on HBOs Tales from the Crypt. He had also appeared in Delta Force 3.
In recent years, the youngest of Kirk Douglas' four sons drew attention more for his problems than for any performances. In a 2000 interview, he said he spent eight days in a coma after a pill overdose a year earlier.
For years before that, Eric Douglas struggled with drug and alcohol addictions while repeatedly clashing with the law. He spent time behind bars and in rehabilitation clinics.
Any survivor of Delta Force 3 should be given a full military funeral with the option of being buried with Chuck Norris.
