Kindergarten Cop child star Christian Cousins dies aged 43
Christian Cousins, best known for playing Dominic in Kindergarten Cop has died aged 43.
His brother, Jonas Roeser, announced the news on Instagram on 22 October as he explained the former child star had been 'very sick with liver disease'.
He wrote: "It’s hard to share that my brother, Christian Cousins, has passed away. Christian and his twin brother, Joseph 'Joey' Cousins, are my brothers through my biological father.
"They grew up in California while I was in Washington and I didn’t get to know them until I was in college. Before that, I grew up watching them on television in Knots Landing and the lead role of Dominic in Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger."
Christian and his brother Joey shared the role of Dominic in the 1990 action comedy film, that went on to be one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
Jonas said these infamous roles are only a 'small part' of how he'll remember Christian, adding: "He was a character, full of passion and energy, with big stories and even bigger dreams."
Following his health battles, he adds that it brings comfort to know his brother is 'now in heaven with his mother, free from the pain he was carrying'.
"Rest easy, Christian. I hope your soul is at rest and that you’ve found peace. You are my brother and you will be missed," he added.
