Little people has soooo many challenges; difficulty recovering from a common cold, and passing early are not unusual.
Sad.

In May 2015, Troyer, his girlfriend Brittney Powell,[9] and her son Tyson appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap, where she switched places with Hines Ward's wife.

Sorry to hear Verne bought the Mini Farm

How dare you belittle him with your small-minded snark. He was a giant in his industry and I have good mind to get short with people like you who make tiny cracks at him

You're right. I should rise above that sort of easy humor and not stoop to that level.

It's a small price to pay.

After he committed suicide is truly shameful.
what a bunch of pricks!

shame on them....not real BBI'ers
I met him before he was famous

Packed college bar in Lansing, Michigan in 1988 or 1989. Turn around to see a guy standing on the bar acting as it was completely normal. He was beyond tiny - I have never seen another adult as small as he was. I am tall but even on the bar he was not even eye to eye with me - but joked about my height anyway. Amazing attitude and surrounded by friends acting like he was no different than normal. Years later I realized it was him after reading a story about him. Sad ending to an amazing story but not surprising based on the obstacles in his life combined with heavy drinking with such a small body. Surprised his body held up as long as it did.

it’s despicable on three levels: 1. dancing on someone's grave; 2. after suicide; and 3. after a life where he likely endured physical and mental pain and humiliation from a challenging condition.
It's sad

I recall him having drinking problems stemming from depression of every day life and people mocking him. Seemed like a nice dude from the interviews I've seen and the bits I watched on some old realty show.
