New information has come to light regarding the death of Robert Carradine. 

Following the death of former Lizzie McGuire star Adam Schlesinger on February 23rd at age 71, his death certificate showed he passed away at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to TMZ, which obtained the document on March 10th.

As a part of handling Robert’s final arrangements, he was cremated, and his ashes were respectfully scattered at sea. It was a peaceful way to honor his memory, as confirmed by his death certificate.

The family of the actor best known for Revenge of the Nerds announced his death on February 23rd, stating he had been living with bipolar disorder for almost two decades.

As someone who often talks about well-being, I was really touched by what Keith Carradine shared about his brother, Robert. He wanted everyone to understand the challenges Robert faced with bipolar disorder, and emphasized something incredibly important: there’s absolutely no shame in living with it. It’s so vital to normalize these conversations and offer support, not stigma.

It just broke my heart to hear about my brother. He fought so hard against this illness, and I want everyone to remember him not just for his talent – he was incredibly gifted – but for the beautiful person he was. We’re going to miss him terribly, every single day. I’ll always cherish his sense of humor, his wisdom, and how completely accepting and tolerant he was. That was just my baby brother, through and through.

The 67-year-old remembered that she and Bobby were the last to perform, and Bobby moved the seating arrangement so he could sit beside her and unexpectedly kissed her on live television.
