\"\"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Erin Moran, the former child star who played Joanie Cunningham in the sitcoms “Happy Days” and “Joanie Loves Chachi,” has died.<\/p>\n

Police in Harrison County, Indiana, said that she had been found unresponsive Saturday after authorities received a 911 call. The Harrison County Sheriff’s Office said Monday that\u00a0“a subsequent autopsy revealed that Mrs. Moran likely succumbed to complications of stage 4 cancer.” The type of cancer was not disclosed.\u00a0 Moran had endured numerous struggles in recent years.<\/p>\n

She was reportedly\u00a0kicked out of her trailer park home in Indiana, according to tabloid reports, because of her hard-partying ways.<\/p>\n

Moran previously said\u00a0that she had been working on a memoir, called “Happy Days, Depressing Nights.”<\/p>\n

Moran was already a veteran actress when in 1974 she was cast in “Happy Days” as Joanie, the kid sister to Ron Howard’s Richie Cunningham in the sitcom set in the 1950s.
