His sister, Rebecca Hertzberg-Pfaffinger, told the New York Times that Gregory and his service dog were both found dead in his car on June 13 at a bank’s parking lot in Peoria, Ariz. Hertzberg-Pfaffinger also announced the news in a Facebook post on Wednesday, saying that the family believes Gregory had fallen asleep and “died from vehicular heatstroke.” She told the NYT that the official cause of death is still pending.

Tragic. ALF was popular with families and children in the late '80s. RIP Benji.

Should a TV network do Benji Gregory marathon from ALF or ALF on YouTube tribute?

Also from the cast, Max Wright who was the dad, died in 2019.

Michu Meszaros wore the ALF costume if we needed to see his entire body. He died in 2016. Normally Paul Fusco, the voice of ALF, used a puppet for the alien.

His instagram says he had major depressive disorder so.... that's a strange coincidence for it to be blamed on heatstroke.......
