General Hospital and Port Charles alum Jay Pickett has died at the age of 60.
The producers of his latest movie announced on Facebook Friday that Jay died sitting on a horse ready to rope a steer in the movie Treasure Valley in Idaho.
UPI reports Jay wrote the story and starred in it.
In addition to playing Detective David Harper and Lorenzo Alcazar on General Hospital and Frank Scanlon on Port Charles, he also appeared in episodes of China Beach, Dragnet, Mr. Belvedere, Perry Mason and Days of Our Lives.
The exact cause of death is not known, but a post by the movie’s Facebook page says “it appears to have been a heart attack.”
Idaho News6 reports Pickett was born in Spokane, Washington but grew up in Caldwell, Idaho.
He is survived by his wife of 35 years and their three children.
