Tyler Christopher cause of death REVEALED: General Hospital star, 50, died of 'positional asphyxia' due to alcohol intoxication, as medical examiner cites coronary artery disease as contributing condition


The General Hospital star died at age 50 in October 2023 due to 'positional asphyxia' due to acute alcohol intoxication, according to the autopsy.

Benard said that his late colleague 'was an advocate for better mental health and substance use treatment who openly spoke about his struggles with bipolar depression and alcohol,' adding, 'We are beyond devastated by the loss of our dear friend and pray for his children and his father.' Some of Christopher's other television and film roles included Days of Our Lives, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and the Paul Winfield dramedy Catfish in Black Bean Sauce, earlier in his career. General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini said he was 'heartbroken over the news' and remembered Christopher as 'an incredible actor and a dear friend,' adding, 'Our heartfelt sympathies go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.'
