After Trent's career ended, his mother moved the family to Colorado.
Trent worked some odd jobs for a while, and wasn't interested in
returning to show business. A few years later, Trent decided to return
to California at the request of a girlfriend he was smitten with. A
short time later, they broke up on bad terms, and he had difficulty
coping with her rejection. A few months later, he lost many of his
possessions when his apartment was burglarized, and he became seriously
depressed. Not long afterwards, he decided to stay with an elementary
school classmate named Joseph Allen, who had a home in Arleta, near
North Hollywood, but Allen was away that night. When returning to his
home, Allen parked his car opposite the Vena Avenue Elementary School.
It was the school both he and Trent had attended. He noticed a body
hanging from the chain link fence. It was Trent - he had climbed the
fence, tied a belt to the top and pushed himself off. A suicide note
was in his pocket. He was 20.
