Christian Brando, the troubled eldest son of the late famed actor Marlon Brando, died Saturday from pneumonia at a Los Angeles hospital, according to David Seeley, an attorney representing Marlon Brando's estate, as reported by The Associated Press from Los Angeles. He was 49.

Born on May 11, 1958, Brando was a high school dropout and never had much of a career. He had small roles in a few movies, including 1968's "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas!" but he was better known for his brushes with the law.

He spent five years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in 1990 for killing his sister's boyfriend, Dag Drollet, at the Brando family's hilltop estate.

Brando said he accidentally shot Drollet as they struggled for a gun during an argument over whether Drollet, 26, had beaten Brando's pregnant half-sister, Cheyenne. Cheyenne, who later gave birth to Drollet's son but lost custody of the child, committed suicide in 1995.

Brando's mother was actress Anna Kashfi. She and Marlon Brando divorced after a year.

Seeley said Brando was not married at the time of his death and did not leave any children.
