Peter Robbins, the original voice actor of Charlie Brown in the 1960s “Peanuts” shows, died last week at the age of 65.
Relatives told Fox 5 San Diego that Robbins committed suicide.
Robbins, a California native, began voicing Charlie Brown at just 9 years old.
He provided the voice of the title character in 1965’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and 1966’s “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”
Robbins battled lifelong mental illness, struggled with addiction and had several run-ins with the law as an adult.
In 2013, he pleaded guilty to threatening and stalking both his ex-girlfriend and a plastic surgeon who gave her a breast enhancement he paid for.
He also spent time behind bars for making criminal threats to a San Diego County sheriff.
After his release from prison in 2019, he discussed his time behind bars in an interview with Fox 5 San Diego.
