Celebrity photographer and 'Grey's Anatomy' actor – Brad Everett Young – died at the age of 46 years on Monday due to injuries sustained from a traffic accident in Los Angeles, reported USA Today on Thursday.
The report added, quoting Young's publicist Paul Christensen, that Young's accident took place on the 134 Freeway late Sunday when his vehicle was struck by another vehicle driving in the wrong direction.
Young had TV roles in "Charmed," "Numb3rs" and "Felicity." He also appeared in multiple movies, including 2000's "Charlie's Angels" and 1997's “Jurassic Park II.”
Recently, Young shifted his focus to celebrity photography. His work was featured in Vanity Fair, People, Vogue and other outlets. Young was a familiar face at Hollywood premieres, galas and awards show red carpets.
He had taken up and became a founder of the grassroots project Dream Loud Official, which works to restore and preserve arts programs at schools across the nation.
With this, he aimed to inspire students, teachers and artists in the US, his publicist said.
"Brad's passion for both the arts and the people behind them was unmatched," Christensen said in a statement. "He lived his mission of keeping creativity alive, and his legacy will continue through Dream Loud Official."
Meanwhile, no funeral arrangements for Young have not been announced. His family is asking for prayers and privacy at this time.
Earlier on Thursday, Tamil actor, comedian Robo Shankar passed away in Chennai at the age of 46 years. He was admitted to a hospital after collapsing on the film sets on Wednesday.
He was shifted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) before he took his last breathe. It is said that his health deteriorated earlier in the day, succumbing to his illness ultimately.
Shankar battled jaundice just a few months ago. During his recovery, the actor lost weight as he appeared visibly lean, leaving fans worried.
Later, he returned to work and starred in Sun TV's cooking reality show, Top Cooku Dupe Cooku. On 17 September reports about Shankar collapsing on sets emerged.
