"Medical Examiner Unveils ‘All My Children’ Star Alec Musser’s Cause Of Death"

Late “All My Children” star Alec Musser’s cause of death has been unveiled.

After his fiancée, Paige Press, told media that Mr. Musser was suffering from “a severe case of COVID,” the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office on Tuesday reported that he appeared to have died from suicide.

Mr. Musser was found by Ms. Press at their home in Del Mar, California, on the morning of Jan. 13, the medical examiner said, noting that Ms. Press knew him to be alive before she went to bed the evening prior.

The next morning, according to the medical examiner, Ms. Press found his fiancé “slumped forward on the bathroom floor” with “a firearm near him and an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.” The weapon has been identified as a shotgun.

When emergency responders arrived at the scene, Mr. Musser was confirmed to be deceased. His official cause of death is listed as a suicide. He was 50.

The autopsy results come three days after Ms. Press announced the death of Mr. Musser, whom she got engaged to a little over a year ago, in a series of Instagram posts...

Ms. Press has also told media outlets that her fiancé was suffering from severe COVID-19 at the time of his death and noted that she believes the disease was what ultimately killed him.

“He was a very healthy person. I mean, he took exceptional care of his body and what went into it,” she told Fox News Digital. “He’d eat some cookies and that was the worst thing I ever saw him do.”
