Baby Stanley was born two months prematurely and died nine days later. He was the second child born to the legendary comedian Stan Laurel and his first wife, Lois Neilson. His death understandably brought much grief and depression to his parents and his older sister Lois. Stanley was cremated instead of buried because his father couldn't stand funerals and was already overwhelmed with enough grief.
