“Kindergarten Cop” star Christian Cousins said he was “barely healthy” nearly two years before his tragic death at age 43.

In his final social media post from January 2025, Christian shared a selfie on Facebook, as one person, Susan Shreck, commented, “That’s a great picture!”

Christian replied, “Not terrible for 41 and barely healthy cuz! lol.”

Shreck “loved” Christian’s comment.

Christian’s brother, Jonas Roeser, shared the news of the actor’s death on Instagram on October 22.

Roeser said Christian was “very sick” with liver disease.

“It brings me comfort to believe he is now in heaven with his mother, free from the pain he was carrying,” Roeser wrote about the former child star.

Roeser also called Christian “a character” who was “full of passion and energy, with big stories and even bigger dreams.”

Elsewhere in his tribute, Roeser revealed he didn’t meet Christian and his twin brother,  Joseph “Joey” Cousins, until he was in college.

“[They] are my brothers through my biological father. They grew up in California while I was in Washington,” Roeser explained. “Before that, I grew up watching them on television in ‘Knots Landing’ and the lead role of Dominic in ‘Kindergarten Cop’ with Arnold Schwarzenegger.”

“But those roles are only a small part of how I’ll remember Christian,” Roeser added.

Roeser ended his tribute with a message to his late brother, writing, “Rest easy, Christian. I hope your soul is at rest and that you’ve found peace. You are my brother and you will be missed.”

Christian and Joey shared the role of Dominic in the 1990 film “Kindergarten Cop” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The siblings also appeared in nearly 60 episodes of the soap opera “Knots Landing” as Bobby Gibson Ewing between 1987 and 1992.

In 2020, Christian told Yahoo Entertainment during a virtual “Kindergarten Cop” reunion that the brothers got hired for the film after their first interview with director Ivan Reitman and Schwarzenegger.

“They had seen some previous work that we’d done, met with Ivan Reitman and Arnold right off the bat and got it,” Christian recalled.

Christian also admitted he “didn’t even know the significance of the role” when the siblings were cast.
