The cast of General Hospital has broken their silence on the shocking and tragic news of Johnny Wactor’s death.
The 37-year-old actor was shot and killed during a mugging attempt in Los Angeles, plunging the entertainment industry and fans into darkness over the news.
His mother confirmed how her son was never violent with anyone and for the thieves to just shoot and kill him for no reason while they were trying to steal his vehicle is beyond tragic.
She mourned how her son was the nicest gentleman out there and therefore did not deserve to have his life ended in this horrifying manner.
The news spread like wildfire online and many couldn’t help but speak about how he was a great actor with his entire team of co-stars jumping in to honor him with beautiful tributes.
The 37-year-old star was leaving his job at a rooftop bar in downtown LA. He was walking one of the female employees back to her car, making sure she was safe. But that’s when the trouble began.
He saw three masked men trying to grab his car’s catalytic converter so he confronted them in a nonviolent manner. But one of them shot him at 3 am, leading to his death in the end.
The cast says they are still in disbelief over the news and prayed that it was not true. Not having him on set anymore is just impossible to accept, they continued.
