Rory Callum, a 32-year-old blind man with cerebral palsy, tragically died after becoming trapped in his cottage during the devastating California fires. His mother, Shelley Sykes, was forced to leave their Malibu home to seek help. By the time she returned with the fire department, the cottage had burned to the ground.
Callum, a British-born Australian, had appeared on Kiddy Kapers as a child and was well-known for his activism and public speaking, which began when he was just eight years old.
