Benji Gregory, the actor who portrayed child Brian Tanner in the NBC 1980s sitcom "Alf" has died at age 46. His sister, Rebecca Pfaffinger, confirmed his passing and wrote in a Facebook post that he "died from vehicular heatstroke" after falling asleep inside his car.
"My brother Ben was found in his car, along with his beloved service dog Hans, deceased on June 13," Pfaffinger wrote. "We believe he went there the evening of the 12th to deposit some residuals. (Found in his car) and never got out of the car to do so. He fell asleep and died from vehicular heatstroke."
