Default Gary Vinson Suicide

About a dozen years ago I read in one of the tabloids that the reason he killed himself was that he was due to go on trial for child molestation. Has anyone else read or heard this?

I had not heard about any child molestation charges. I have met him on several occasions and he was very nice.

He was a family friend and we read and heard the same thing. I would have to believe the story, I have 1st hand knowledge that he molested children, I was 11yrs old and he molested me. Its sad, he was talented and a good guy but was sick.

Default Gary Vinson Suicide

Does anyone have anymore information about the suicide of Gary Vinson who played Christy on McHale's Navy? He was only 47 when he died. There is little information about this actor online.

yes unfortunately its true!! your site is cool and dont mean to put a damper on things, but since somebody asked I feel the truth has to be addressed!! let the record reflect this guy was a real creep and sick alcoholic demented pedophile. he molested (i think maybe even raped..??) a good friend of mine and another person I know too. The charges finally caught up to him and he blew his brains out because he couldn't deal with the label of a child rapist and molester. Welll at least he's dead now and cant hurt any more children. good riddance to bad rubbish!!
