Actor Tyler Christopher, well known for his lengthy tenure on the television soap opera “General Hospital,” has away. He was fifty.
On Instagram, Mr. Christopher’s old co-star Maurice Benard said that Mr. Christopher had passed away on Tuesday morning in his San Diego residence after a “cardiac event.” Chi Muoi Lo, Mr. Christopher’s manager, also verified his death.
In 2016, Mr. Christopher was honored with a Daytime Emmy Award for his performance as Stefan DiMera in the serial opera “Days of Our Lives.” While he appeared in a number of TV series and motion pictures, his most well-known role was that of Nikolas Cassadine on “General Hospital” from 1996 until 2016.
Tyler was an exceptionally gifted person who, according to Mr. Benard, “lit up the screen in every scene he performed and relished bringing joy to his loyal fans through his acting.” “To everyone who knew him, Tyler was a wonderful friend and sweet soul.”
He called Mr. Christopher a champion for mental health, noting that he was candid in discussing his battles with alcoholism, depression, and bipolar illness.
In Reader’s Digest, Mr. Christopher talked about his battles with alcoholism and bipolar illness. He said that in addition to taking medicine to manage his mental health issues, he visited a psychiatrist and therapist on a regular basis.
In an earlier social media post from the previous year, he considered his progress since reaching forty.
He added, “I have lived in six states, completed twelve films, won an Emmy, starred in four television series, relapsed and recovered, and survived a traumatic brain injury in the ten years since my daughter was born.”
However, he expressed his desire for a “quieter life” with his two kids.
Mr. Benard wrote that his father and kids outlive him.
The news of his passing, according to Mr. Lo, “was incredibly shocking.”
Mr. Lo said, “He was an incredible friend and a very gifted actor.” “My thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family, who truly loved him.”
