Our condolences go out to Regina King, whose only child, son Ian Alexander Jr., has died, the actress confirmed to People magazine. Although King, who is one of the most wonderful, kind and sincere entertainers in Hollywood, did not reveal the cause of death, People reported that Alexander died by suicide. He turned 26 on Jan. 19. “Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian,” King said in a statement. “He is such a bright light who cared so deeply about the happiness of others. Our family asks for respectful consideration during this private time: Thank you.” The Oscar winning actress shared Ian Jr. with ex-husband and record producer Ian Alexander, Sr.
