Hugh O’Connor Biography
Hugh was born in Rome, Italy. When he was six days old, he was adopted by Carroll and his wife, Nancy. Carroll was in Rome filming Cleopatra. He was named after Carroll’s brother, who died in a motorcycle accident in 1961.
Hugh Edward Ralph O’Connor (April 7, 1962 – March 28, 1995) was an American actor known for his role as James Flynn in the 1984 film Brass and his portrayal of Lonnie Jamison on In the Heat of the Night until his death in 1995. He was the son of actor Carroll O’Connor.
Hugh married Angela Clayton, a wardrobe assistant on In the Heat of the Night, on March 28, 1992. Their son, Sean Carroll O’Connor, was born in 1993.
On March 28, 1995, the third anniversary of his marriage, Hugh called his father Carroll to tell him he was going to end his life. He told his father he believed he could not beat his drug addiction and could not face another drug rehabilitation program. Carroll called the police, who arrived at Hugh’s Pacific Palisades, California home just as he shot himself. The police later determined he had cocaine in his blood.
Several hours after Hugh’s death, Carroll publicly named Perzigian as the man who caused his death. Perzigian was arrested the next day for drug possession and furnishing cocaine after a search of his apartment turned up cocaine and drug paraphernalia. In January 1996, he was sentenced to a year in jail, a $1,000 fine, 200 hours of community service, and three years of probation.
After Hugh’s death, Carroll successfully lobbied to get the state of California to pass legislation that allows family members of an addicted person or anyone injured by a drug dealer’s actions, including employers, to sue for reimbursement for medical treatment and rehabilitation costs. The law, known as the Drug Dealer Liability Act in California, went into effect in 1997. It is an updated version of the Model Drug Dealer Liability Act authored in 1992 by then Hawaii U.S. Attorney Daniel Bent. It had been passed in several states before it was passed in California with Carroll’s support, and is now the law in sixteen states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Successful cases have been brought under the Model Drug Dealer Liability Act in Michigan, Utah, and Illinois.
