Lehman's last credited role was in 1973. Twelve years old, he was having difficulty finding work, which led to bouts of depression. His mother moved his family to Colorado later in the decade, but Lehman decided to return to California, resettling in an apartment in North Hollywood.
Deathedit
Days before Lehman died, he reconnected with Joseph Allen, a classmate of his from Vena Avenue Elementary School. Allen told police that Lehman had asked him for a gun as he had become despondent over breaking up with his girlfriend and a recent burglary of his apartment. Police had no knowledge of the burglary until after Lehman's death.
On January 18, 1982, Lehman died after he hanged himself on a chain link fence outside of Vena Avenue Elementary School in Pacoima, California.[1] He had attended the school before being withdrawn to become an actor.[2]
