Gregory’s sister, Rebecca Hertzberg-Pfaffinger, first announced his death in aFacebookpost on July 10. She revealed the family believed it was from heat stroke, as it was 109 degrees in Peoria on June 12.
“It is with a heavy heart my family has suffered a loss way too early,” she wrote of Gregory. “Ben was a great Son, Brother and Uncle. He was fun to be around and made us laugh quite often. Still, going through his things, I find myself laughing at little videos or notes of his, in between crying.”
“My brother Ben was found in his car, along with his beloved service dog Hans, deceased on June 13,” she continued. “We believe he went there the evening of the 12th to deposit some residuals. (Found in his car) and never got out of the car to do so. He fell asleep and died from vehicular heatstroke.”
Hertzberg-Pfaffinger also toldTMZthat Gregory had been struggling with depression, bipolar disorder and a sleep disorder that kept him awake for days at the time of his death.
