Rich had been open on social media about his struggles.

"The only thing those suffering from a mental illness know how to do is pretend to be ok," he wrote in December. "Enough! The stigma is killing people. Be yourself. Ok, or not ok, is the only way to create change, & stomp the stigma! Heal your truth!"

Fellow former child star Corey Feldman remembered Rich on Twitter writing, "Another brilliant light, another tortured soul, another child star who couldn't find his peace after he endured! He was a friend, a comrade, & a talented person with a deep passion 4 helping others understand mental illness."
