Former child star dead at 33 after medical emergency

  Former child actor Blake Garrett, best known for playing Plug in the 2006 family comedy How to Eat Fried Worms, has died at just 33 years old. Garrett passed away Sunday, February 8, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His mother, Carol Garrett, confirmed the heartbreaking news, sharing that the family is still waiting for official autopsy results to determine his exact cause of death.
