Former ‘Sons of Anarchy’ Actor Johnny Lewis Dies at 28

TMZ’s reporting – and Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter confirms – that former SOA actor Johnny Lewis (‘Halfsack’) has died. The 28 year old Lewis reportedly killed the 81 year old woman he was renting a room from before attacking two other people. Lewis then climbed onto the roof of the house owned by the woman he beat to death and ultimately fell to his death.

Law enforcement sources are telling TMZ they believe “Johnny was on drugs– either PCP or meth — at the time he allegedly killed a woman and then fell to his death.”

SOA‘s Sutter had this to say about the tragic events. (Be aware the following tweet

“September 27, 2012 not sure if folks know this yet, but johnny lewis (halfsack) died last night. the sad irony of it happening two days after opie’s death is not lost on me. it was a tragic end for an extremely talented guy, who unfortunately had lost his way. i wish i could say that i was shocked by the events last night, but i was not. i am deeply sorry that an innocent life had to be thrown into his destructive path. yes, it’s day or mourning, but it’s also a day of awareness and gratitude. sadly, some of us carry the message by dying.”
