Ron Dean<\/strong>, famous for his work on “Risky Business” and “The Breakfast Club,” is dead.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

The cause of death is unclear, but Maggie tells us Ron has been battling a long illness.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

She tells TMZ … “He passed at exactly 4 PM, after his beloved sisters had said their goodbyes. He hung on like a warrior to say goodbye to his little sisters. Then we were alone, and in my arms, I held his hand, and he trusted me when I told him that it was alright to let go. What an honor!”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
