RITTER STILL HAUNTING HIS FAMILY!

Wife & transgender kid can't let go of tragedy

MORE than two decades after John Ritter's shocking sudden death, his wife and child are still shattered by the loss.

As National ENQUIRER readers know, beloved Three's Company star Ritter was just 54 when he suffered a fatal heart episode on the set of his sitcom 8 Simple Rules on Sept. 11, 2003.

While his older children with first wife Nancy Morgan, Jason, 44, Carly, 42, and Tyler, 39, have gone on with their lives and careers in entertainment, family friends tell The ENQUIRER the same thing can't be said for his second wife, Wings star Amy Yasbeck, 61, and his 25-yearold transgender son, Noah.

They say the two are still heartbroken by the tragedy and haven't been able to totally move forward.

"His death affected Amy so greatly," the tipster says.
