I heard that the guy who played Erkel on Family Matters has passed away, can you tell me if this is true?

not true

No, it's not true. I saw a short interview with him the other day.

I heard this report also and was suspicious right away.From all previous reports about this actor, he leads a drug and alcohol free lifestyle.People die of alto of different causes,but in Holly weird someone of his age group usually succumbs to excesses of this type.I believe that Erkel lives on.
