In a heartbreaking turn of events, Adam Rich, the cherished actor from the classic TV series “Eight Is Enough,” has passed away at the age of 54.
His family confirmed that he died on December 7 at his home in the Los Angeles area.
While the cause of his death remains undisclosed, authorities indicate that there are no signs of foul play involved.
Rich was discovered unresponsive by an unnamed individual who visited his residence.
This shocking news comes as a surprise to many fans who grew up watching him portray the endearing Nicholas Bradford, the youngest of the eight siblings in the beloved show that aired from 1977 to 1981.
The series, which also featured notable actors like d–k Van Patten and Connie Needham, followed the ups and downs of the Bradford family as they navigated the challenges of growing up, dating, and starting families of their own.
Despite his early success, Rich’s life was not without struggles.
In 1991, he faced legal troubles after breaking a pharmacy window in an attempt to obtain drugs.
The incident led to a stint in rehabilitation, but his journey toward recovery was fraught with difficulties.
Just over a decade later, in 2002, he was arrested again for driving under the influence, nearly colliding with a California highway patrol car.
