CHILD's Play co-screenwriter John Lafia died by suicide on Wednesday at 63 years old.

He was found in his Los Angeles home, according to the Los Angeles County coroner’s office, with his family later confirming his death.

The writer's family shared in a statement: “It is with great sadness we announce that loving father, film and television writer, director, producer and musician John J. Lafia passed away on Wednesday, April 29.”

John reportedly came up with the character’s name, as well as the well-known line: “Hi, I’m Chucky, wanna play?”

He is survived by his children, Tess and Kane, and his former wife, Beverly.
