Disney"s "The Jersey" / Coaches Wife Voice Over / Michael Galeota - Paisley Baker

Michael Galeota, who starred in Disney Channels The Jersey in the late 90s and early 00s, died Sunday. He was 31.

It is with tremendous heartfelt sadness to announce the passing of Michael James Galeota on January 10th, reads a statement on a Go Fund Me page to raise money for his burial, created by Galeotas family.

He was a precious gift loving, giving, compassionate, joyful and intelligent, the post continues. A great inspiration for anyone that heard his genuine, humble, witty and joyful voice, or experienced his smile, laughter and love for just a moment. To know him was to love him.

The Go Fund Me page for Galeota has currently raised nearly $9,000 of its $25,000 goal. Interestingly, the biggest donation of $5,000 comes from a donor calling his or herself Shia L. While theres no confirmation of the identity of that donor, actor Shia Labeouf starred on the Disney Channels Even Stevens at the same time Galeota was on The Jersey.

The actor went to the hospital last week after complaining of abdominal pains and left Wednesday, according to TMZ, which first reported the news. After not hearing from him later in the week, one of his friends apparently went to check on him Sunday at his Glendale home and climbed through the window when Galeota didnt answer the door. He was found lying on the living room floor.

His death is currently said to be due to natural causes, and Galeota has battled hypertension, high cholesterol and diverticulitis. An autopsy is pending.

The Jersey premiered on the Disney Channel in 1999, based on the Monday Night Football Club books by Gordon Korman. Galeota starred as Nick Lighter, one of the four teens with access to the jersey, a magical garment that transports the wearer into the body of a professional athlete. The series finale aired in 2004.

Before The Jersey, Galeota had other roles in his youth, including in 1996 film Clubhouse Detectives and 1995s Bushwacked. He also appeared in episodes of E.R. and Ally McBeal in 1995 and 1997, respectively. The Jersey, however, marked his last acting role.

Vergangene Woche ging Michael Galeota ins Krankenhaus, klagte ber starke Bauchschmerzen. Doch entgegen dem Rat der rzte verlie er dieses nach wenigen Untersuchungen wieder freiwillig. Nun ist der Schauspieler tot. Der erst 31-Jhrige, der durch die Disney-Sendung "The Jersey" bekannt wurde, starb offenbar ganz alleine in seinem Haus in Glendale. Wie TMZ berichtet, machten sich die Freunde von Mike, wie sie ihn nannten, Sorgen, weil er schon mehrere Tage kein Lebenszeichen von sich gegeben hatte. Als ein Freund das Haus aufsuchte und sich durch das Fenster Zugang verschaffte, machte er im Wohnzimmer die furchtbare Entdeckung: Der Schauspieler lag leblos auf dem Boden.

Warum Michael mit nur 31 Jahren sterben musste, ist noch nicht bekannt. Fakt ist, dass er an Bluthochdruck litt und seine Cholesterinwerte viel zu hoch waren. Auch kmpfte er mit einer Entzndung im Verdauungstrakt, die wohl auch die Bauchschmerzen verursacht hat. Die rzte gehen laut TMZ von einem natrlichen Tod aus, die Autopsie steht noch aus.
