Kristoff St. John was found dead yesterday at his home from apparent natural causes according to TMZ.
The 52-year-old actor had his first on-camera gig back in 1975 when was just 8 years old in That’s My Mama and he never stopped acting. In the ’70s and ’80s, he starred in and guest starred on several shows and movies, but then in 1991, he got the job he is most known for. That is when he cast a Neil Winters on The Young & The Restless. A role that earned him 2 Daytime Emmy Awards, 9 nominations and countless fans.
In 2014, tragedy struck him and he was never the same. That is when his son Julian committed suicide in a mental health facility. After that, he went into a downward spiral. Things were looking up for him when he proposed to his girlfriend, Kseniya Mikhaleva, in September. His fiancee wrote this about him today, “How did it happen ??? How ??? Why did you leave so early ???? and left me alone ….. I can’t believe 💔💔💔💔 you were everything to me …. you were a loving father, a loving man,…..how 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 love??we should doing a lot of things in future……” Now instead of planning their wedding, they are planning his funeral.
