He died in his sleep Friday at a hospital in Burbank, California, his manager Charles Lago said.Sizemore became a star with acclaimed appearances in "Natural Born Killers" and the cult-classic crime thriller "Heat." But serious substance dependency, abuse allegations and multiple run-ins with the law devastated his career, left him homeless and sent him to jail.As the global #MeToo movement wave crested in late 2017, Sizemore was also accused of groping an 11-year-old Utah girl on set in 2003.
He called the allegations "highly disturbing," saying he would never inappropriately touch a child. Charges were not filed.Despite the raft of legal trouble, Sizemore had scores of steady film and television credits — though his career never regained its onetime momentum.
