Dana Plato's Son Commits Suicide

Tragedy

11 years after his mother did.

Nearly 11 years to the day after Diff’rent Strokes star Dana Plato died from a drug overdose, PopEater reports that her son Tyler Lambert has committed suicide. The 25-year-old son of the troubled teen star shot himself in the head according to the Tulsa, Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
