Did the Power Rangers' curse claim Jason David Frank?

A wild theory circulating among fans claims that the Power Rangers series is cursed. Many fan-favorite characters from various iterations of the series met their untimely end, causing speculation among fans that the series is indeed cursed.

One of the most well-known deaths in the franchise was that of Thuy Trang, who played the character of Trini Kwan (Yellow Ranger). Trang died in a car accident in 2001. She was 27 years old.

Actor Robert L. Manahan, who played the character of Zordan, died of a heart aneurysm in 2000 at age 43. Pua Magasiva, who played the character of Shane Clarke (Red Wind Ranger) in Power Rangers: Ninja Storm, died in 2019 under mysterious circumstances.

Tragically, Jason David Frank's younger brother, Erik Ray Frank, who had a cameo in Power Rangers Zeo, died of an unspecified illness at age 29.

The "curse" doesn't just involve illnesses or accidents but a case of murder as well. In 2015, Ricardo Medina Jr., who played the character of Cole (Red Ranger) in Power Rangers: Wild Force, was arrested for the murder of his roommate Josh Stutter.
