Verne Troyer, best known for his role as Mini Me in the Austin Powers movies has passed away at age 49. I don't know exactly where he fell on the gun debate but he wasn't venomously anti-gun at least, as seen in the below video he did with Richard Ryan. In any case he seemed like a pretty cool dude. I haven't seen anywhere listing a cause of death yet.
