We are so very sorry to share the news that original Green and White “Power Rangers” actor Jason David Frank has passed away. This news had circulated online as a rumor for the better part of a day before it was sadly confirmed by Justine Hunt, his rep.
“Please respect the privacy of his family and friends during this horrible time as we come to terms with the loss of such a wonderful human being,” Hunt told TMZ. “He loved his family, friends and fans very much. He will truly be missed.”
It is being reported, although not confirmed, that Frank died by suicide. If you or someone you know is feeling suicidal, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Call 9-8-8 toll free for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, 24 hours a day.
Frank was 49 years old.

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
