Trevor Wilson, the kid from Pearl Jam's Jeremy video

[Songbird]

Did a search and didn't find anything.

Was watching Jeremy on YouTube yesterday, which led to rabbit hole after rabbit hole, and the kid in the video drowned 7 years ago in Puerto Rico.

Wilson's life changed in an instant, from a quiet, literature-loving Waldorf school student in Manhattan to a budding child star in Los Angeles, an abrupt transition he recoiled against almost immediately. "He found that people were attracted to you because you're famous, not because of who you are," says his mom, Diane Wilson. Turning his back on the boxes of fan mail, unsolicited offers from female admirers and potential acting gigs, Wilson reclaimed his privacy and lived a peripatetic life on his own terms for the next two decades.

The last time most music fans of the era likely saw him was with Pearl Jam at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards, after which the gawky teen melted back into the background, focusing on his love of clashic literature, and a drive to work on development projects overseas for the United Nations. And then, far from the fake glamour of Beverly Hills, years removed from his 5:33-long moment in the spotlight, Wilson tragically drowned while swimming alone during a vacation in Puerto Rico last August, almost 24 years to the day after the "Jeremy" video dropped.​

Thought he pitched for the Giants?

Thought he pitched for the Giants?

... after he played basketball at UCLA. He once missed a free throw so bad we joked that the referee was going to wave his arms and point that it was wide left.

So ... still dead?
