“Both of them were good and kind souls and they will be greatly missed,” he added.
King continued, “Andy passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack on July 28th, and Chaia passed on August 20th, only a short time after having been diagnosed with lung cancer. Losing them feels so out of order. No parent should have to bury a child.” (RELATED: Hollywood Reacts To Death Of Legendary Actress Doris Day)

It all comes following reports on Friday by the outlet that his adopted son, Andy, and son Chaia had passed away recently.
