Actor Kristoff St. John, who starred as Neil Winters on the long-running TV series “The Young and the Restless,” has died in California, local officials said on Monday. He was 52 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. John was found dead at a home in Woodland Hills, a neighborhood in Los Angeles, on Sunday afternoon. He was pronounced dead at 4:02 p.m. PT, according to the Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was no official word on the cause of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entertainment news website TMZ, citing a source close to the actor, said St. John had recently been hospitalized for issues relating to depression. He was released within the last few days, according to TMZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. John had been struggling since 2014, when his 24-year-old son Julian committed suicide while getting treatment at a mental health facility. He and his ex-wife Mia sued the facility for negligence and the lawsuit was eventually settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. John’s last activity on Twitter was on January 21, when he retweeted: “Grieving the loss of a child is a process. It begins on the day your child passes, and ends the day the parent joins them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. John portrayed Neil Winters on “The Young and the Restless” since 1991, which earned him 2 Daytime Emmy Awards and 6 nominations. He is survived by 2 daughters – Paris and Lola – and his fianc\u00e9e, Kseniya Mikhaleva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
