Not to be nitpicky about people who make actual clcikbait links, but you think they could do a little basic research. This is wrong for several reasons. 1. The kid in the picture is Bug Hall, who played Alfalfa in "The Little Rascals" in 1994. 2. Bug is not dead. 3. This is supposed to be Carl Switzer, who played the original Alfalfa. 4. Carl, like almost every other person from the Our Gang serials, is dead. (There are just two or three actors from the entire group of 40 or so actors that are still alive.) There should be no surprise that he's dead, he was born in 1927. We don't have lots of people left from then. (Actually he died when he was shot during a dispute over a hunting dog and a reward for its recovery, so that might be a bit unusual.) The only reason I pay attention to this is because I used to hang out in a movie memorabilia shop, and Darwood Kaye, who played Waldo in the "Our Gang" series was a friend of the owner and would hang out in the shop, too. He always had stories about the early days of the talkies. He was eventually killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was crossing the street. Personally, it should have been "Celebs you didn't know were still alive: #17 is Abe Vigoda!" Rant mode disengaged.
