Death Summary: Glenn Martin Christopher Francis Quinn was found dead on the couch of a friend. After an autopsy was performed the official cause of death was ruled to be a heroin overdose. He was 32.

I liked him on Roseanne, didn’t know he had died. Very sad.
As I said over on YouTube in the description for the memorial video I made for Glenn: I take comfort in the knowledge that there’s at least one angel in heaven watching over us with a great sense of humor. Such an amazing talent and such a tremendously tragic loss for his family, friends and fans. I fell in love with him as Doyle on Angel; his portrayal of that character touched so many people’s hearts. God rest his soul, I hope he found the peace in death that he could not find in life.
so young its sad.the ass that gave the lad the heroin is to blame.slan
we miss you doyle
Wow…I had no idea that he died. I remember him from Roseanne AND Angel. How sad.
This is a Major loss. I watched him on Roseanne just to see him. He was such a handsome,young,talented actor.Who knows ALL of what he would have done.May god bless you, and your family.love and miss you-a fan forever~
Its sad that the people around him didnt chew him daily to get to rehab. Drugs will always kill. FIGHT FOR YOUR LOVED ONES SOULS. Do it for Glenn who didnt get a second chance.
How sad. Watched him over the years on Roseanne. Poor guy didn’t even get a chance to realize how wonderful life can be. Peace & harmony to you.
I hadn’t know he’d died,RIP
loved Glenn as Doyle in Angel. Always wondered why they wrote him off in series one. Now I know. So very sad.
He was a great actor and funny great to hang out with and a good friend of mind out in Dublin.
I did not know .It broke my heart .Its so sad and you will be missed
Iv’e seen the needle and the damage done, to quote a great Neil Young song, Another great, sweet person taken far to soon! God Bless his family,friends and Glenn in the after life.

Rip Glenn Quinn x
I had no idea Glenn passed away all those years ago. I fell in love with his character, Doyle, on Angel and was angry when he was writeen out of the show, now I know why….what a loss of a bright light…very sad.

It’s a little known fact, but lil’ Mikey Fishman (aka DJ) supplied Glenn with his heroin. We used to smoke a ‘j’ every once in awhile, until John Goodman would break in and steal our crack.
We used to do it before the start of every show. I really miss that.
We were gay lovers, behind the scenes. Oh, the handjobs he gave were heavenly!
he was a handsome young man! me and my husband have started a nightly tradition watching roseanne glenn was a silly guy! i was truly devastated to learn he was on drugs but i can say this much he is in a better place without suffering the pain off addiction i truly wish he could have won this battle! r.i.p glenn aka mark god bless u and ur family!
to the total faggots just above ur comments r fin stupid u will burn in hell u flaming faggots i hope u all die of aids as u will !
I love the Roseanne show more than words can say and thought his character was so fun to watch and he played it brilliantly.Anyone who would post gross comments on this site has some real bad *hit coming their way in the form of karma. I just lost my 25 year old son to a car accident and know from experience what those comments online do to the loved ones left behind. I cannot even get out of the bed abd its been 4 months so believe you will pay and if I knew who you were I would snuff you out myself,go see a shrink you need it!!!
So sorry to hear of glenn’s death. I had no idea that he died. He was such a talented actor. I loved him on “roseanne”.He was one of the funniest ones on the show. He will be very missed.My heart goes out to his family!
i know the demons that killed Glenn, since they torment me daily too…I pray i dont end up like him, but feel safer knowing he is probably up there watching over the junkies who need someone to fight the good fight..yeah
Your presence will be missed and you will be remembered with love. Your time with us was brief, but you touched many. I know that the goodness and talent that was within you have lived on even though you are one. Yoe are remembered with much love and admiration, which I believe is the best legacy that anyone can leave behind.
You had a great talent and an old soul that touched many. Though your time in this life was brief, you will be remembered with love and admiration by so many, and I cannot think of a better legacy for anyone to leave behind.
I just found out he passed away, very sad; i use to like him on the movie “Shout” he was a very handsome man and he will be missed. RIP GLENN QUINN
i love you quinn you’ll always be mark to me.
you will be remembered
I’ve been watching Angel re-runs for years now, when I can’t go to sleep. I miss Doyle’s character on the show. He added something that left a void when it was taken away. I was looking up Buffy comics and page after page, I wound up finding out that Glenn Quinn passed away several years ago…
Didn’t know that he died in 2002. Totally empathise with him, and totally feel for his friends and family. RIP.
A very fine young actor taken in his prime. He had a real talent. Too bad that we will never see the full potential that might have been.
I had heard Glenn died some years ago, but just didn’t know why. (i liked him best on Angel, I really like Irish accents). Heroin! It all may start so seemingly innocent but how tragic that those with so much potential and ability ever begin to get trapped into drugs and begin to believe that drugs in any form can help them or fill that void in their lives. Only Christ can do that. You will be missed Glenn Quinn by so many.
Many peoples lives will not be the same without him. Rest in peace Glenn.
its a terrible shame!! i loved doyle in angel! i cried when i found out he died!!! im currently watching the angels again just to see him!! rip glenn!!
I gave him all the heroin…it came after I smoked 7 bowls of Kripple Kush, ate 3 pizzas and took a steroid laced super shit.
i just now got the 1st Angel season and seen him. I instantly liked him, and when his character got killed off so soon, i looked online to see if he ever came back. What i found out, tho, was soo much worse then just a character being killed off. When i found out he actually died, i was shocked, it was so upsetting. He had amazing potential, that sexy irish man. I am so sorry, Glenn, but I really hope you had an awesome life and are in an amazing place rite now. Such a shame, man, but God bless you. – Love, Cheyenne
I just heard he passed away and I am soooo sad! R.I.P.
i just found out about 15 minutes ago its so sad i loved him as doyle on angel
i had no idea i’m sorry you have gone! xoxoxoxoxo
I remember seeing him guest-starring on a sitcom after Roseanne ended and laughing my ass off because over the years, he went from playing a serious bad boy to being this funny, goofy guy. And he was amazingly handsome. Like, there are very few people I’ve ever seen who looked as good as he did. I watch him every morning in reruns. RIP
Talk about a double shocker. I finally got around to watching the Angel series on DVD after being a longtime Buffy fan. If they had planned from the start to kill him off on the show, Quinn’s endearing and charming characterization had to make it hard to keep that promise. When I saw his last episode, I didn’t want to believe they would do anything that creatively stupid as writing him off, then I see online that he died at the tender age of 32. What a heartbreak. The guy was talented, charismatic, and funny. Rest in peace, and you will always have new fans missing you.
drugs and alcohol truly suck they have nearly destroyed my life and my brother is dieing from alcohol.I wish i was smart enough as a kid never to have started.Too bad the media still makes them appear to be appealing to teens..What a talent wasted and not to say he hit the gene pool lottery with his looks.. all those gifts didnt matter because of drugs..so sad..rest in peace Glenn!
why why god gleen was a good man and great actor why didnt you stop him.
RIP gleen /rEST in peace
hey gleen happy birthday to you
i loved qlenn he was hot and i wished he diddnt die on angle season 4 episode 4 it said somthing love for qlenn quinn so i think he died on that episode
i loved roseanne didn’t know he died til i was looking at the cast and crew
I just found out that Glenn died – had NO idea. I watch Roseanne every single day and always thought he was so underestimated as an actor because he played Mark so brilliantly. Then I started watching Angel, and didn’t know he was on there until they started the reruns back at season one (just in the past week or so). I recognized him from Roseanne and was thrilled to see him again only to find out that he is really, truly gone. Unbelievable. I cannot imagine what his friends and family feel to have lost such a young, talented, gifted loved one. I hope he has found peace and that his spirit is soaring. His light will never go out.
i know you from angel and im sad your dead so i sign the book for all my sadness
i wish you were here right now
i would continue but all i seem to do is cry i just found out in 2010 that he is dead =(
he was awsome to bad he had to go love ya r.i.p
I just got done watch’n Angel season 1 thought i would look Glenn up.I cryed when he died on Angel.Now I am really close to freak’n out.I would start cry’n but everyone would think i weird.His death i consider HOMICIDE,to who ever gave him that crack.I am sure he would not like to be remmbered as a druggy.So I will just think of what he was a talented actor and someone that could have been the best of the best.*See you when i get up there);
I just started watching Angel on DVD with my daughter. I really liked Glenn as Doyle and was sad when his character was killed off. Now I understand, and it makes me sad. Rest in peace Glenn Quinn.
