Brad Bufanda Suicide: Tragic New Details Emerge
As previously reported, Brad Bufanda took his own life last week.
The 34-year old actor, likely best known to television fans for his recurring role on the first two seasons of Veronica Mars, leaped off the roof of a building early Wednesday morning.
His body was discovered around 12:40 a.m. on South Fuller Avenue in Los Angeles and paramedics were dispatched to the scene.
But there was nothing he could do.
Bufanda was dead when they arrived.
Multiple outlets reported at the time of this sad incident that Bufanda left a suicide note at the scene, although it’s unclear exactly what was written in it.
Now, however, TMZ alleges that insiders close to the actor’s family say Brad also wrote individual letters to relatives and friends just days before he killed himself.
These message arrived the day after Bufanda died.
At least one of the notes thanked the recipient for various deeds the individual did over the years to help Bufanda in a number of ways.
This same report says the suicide note itself listed Bufanda’s parents by name and also expressed gratitude to different people in his life.
TMZ writes that no one close to Bufanda saw this horrible act coming; they had no idea he was suffering.
Bufanda had just wrapped a leading role in a movie titled Stan the Man and had recently auditioned for roles in Avatar 2, Black Jesus and iZombie.
His career, at least, was on an upswing.
But one can never truly know what is going on in another one’s personal life or mind.
Said the 34-year old’s manager shortly after his passing:
“We are completely devastated for he was an extremely talented young actor and wonderful, caring human being.
“He was reviving his career, having just completed two movies, and we are shocked and saddened by his passing.
“The family would appreciate privacy at this difficult time.”
This is what Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas Tweeted in memory of Bufanda:
I’m heartbroken to hear of Brad Bufanda’s passing. He did great work on Veronica Mars. My heart goes out to his family.
Bufanda to Los Angeles from Southern California to pursue a full-time film career after graduating high school in 2001.
May he rest in peace.

Brad Bufanda Commits Suicide; Veronica Mars Star Was 34
Brad Bufanda, an actor likely best known for his role on Veronica, committed suicide on Monday, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office has confirmed.
He was 34 years old.
According to multiple sources, the tragic incident took place early in the morning on November 1.
Bufanda’s body was discovered around 12:40 a.m. after he “jumped from a building,” this same spokesperson has told People Magazine, adding;
“[An] autopsy is done and it has been ruled an suicide.”
The cause of death, as one might sadly expect in this circumstance, was “sustained traumatic injuries.”
A pedestrian walking along South Fuller Avenue reportedly came upon Bufanda and called the police.
Paramedics were then dispatched to the scene, but it was too late; the actor was already dead.
Bufanda had a recurring role on the first two seasons of Veronica Mars, a beloved series on The CW that starred Kristen Bell and which was eventually turned into a movie.
He portrayed Felix Toombs on the dark comedy, a member of a biker gang.
Bufanda had also appeared on Malcom in the Middle, CSI: Miami, and the 2004 movie A Cinderella Story.
His most recent listed credit on IMDB is for a role in the upcoming movie Stan the Man.
Said Bufanda’s manager Kirsten Solem in response to the awful news:
“We are completely devastated for he was an extremely talented young actor and wonderful, caring human being.
“He was reviving his career, having just completed two movies, and we are shocked and saddened by his passing.
“The family would appreciate privacy at this difficult time.”
According to TMZ, Bufanda did leave a suicide note near the scene of his death. It is unknown at this time just what the note said.
Percy Daggs III and Francis Capra both starred opposite Bufanda on Veronica Mars and both are now mourning this loss.
“I’m heartbroken to hear of Brad Bufanda’s passing,” wrote Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas on Twitter, adding:
“He did great work on Veronica Mars. My heart goes out to his family.
The actor moved to Los Angeles from Southern California to pursue a full-time film career after graduating high school in 2001.
He had actually thought about pursuing a career in professional basketball until an injury ended those dreams.
We send our condolences to the family members, friends and loved ones of Brad Bufanda.
May he rest in peace.
