It was only two years earlier when Moore’s sister passed away from a drug overdose.
Sadly, for as much joy and laughter as Mary Tyler Moore brought us from her decades in comedy, her personal life was filled with several terrible tragedies.
In 1995, Moore’s son, Richie, tragically passed away from an accidental gunshot wound.
The weapon was known for its hair-trigger; it was later taken off the market for that reason.
