Christian Brando (May 11, 1958 – January 26, 2008) was the eldest child of actor Marlon Brando. He pled guilty to manslaughter in the death of the boyfriend of his half-sister Cheyenne. On May 16, 1990, Christian Brando shot Dag Drollet to death at Marlon Brando's residence on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles. He was released from prison in 1996. In 2005, he pled guilty to spousal abuse of his wife, Deborah Presley, and was given probation.

Brando died of pneumonia on January 26, 2008[21][22] at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 49 years old. He was admitted into Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center on January 11, 2008. Although Brando's attorney, Benjamin Brin, announced he was hospitalized with pneumonia, the prognosis was said to be a complete recovery.[23] However, an unnamed friend confirmed that Brando was in grave condition.[23].
Brando was buried on February 17, 2008 at the Kalama Oddfellows Cemetery in Kalama, Washington,[24]. Christian, who had lived in Kalama for about 14 years was well-liked by locals who remembered him as "a regular guy". Chaplain Timothy Berg, who performed the service, said, "I guess as a society, we've made it really hard for people who are famous," Berg said. "God, he had a hard life, he really did, and I guess that's really true of a lot of people who are born into fame."
According to former girlfriend Donna Goen (as quoted in the Feb 11, 2008 edition of People magazine), at the time of his death Brando had been attempting to turn his life around. "He was trying so hard to finally have a life,"
