Despite Kelly beginning CPR and paramedics’ attempts at “life-saving measures” upon their arrival, Kelker-Kelly was pronounced dead at 9:09 p.m. on Oct. 3, according to the report.

In addition to his 586 episodes as Bo Brady on Days of Our Lives between 1992 and 1995, Kelker-Kelly starred as multiple characters on the soap opera Another World for 434 episodes from 1987 to 1998 and as Stavros Cassadine on General Hospital for 42 episodes between 2001 and 2014.

Following his death, his Another World costar and onscreen love interest Sandra Dee Robinson (formerly Sandra Ferguson) paid tribute to her friend.

“My first years in TV on Another World were a whirlwind and Robert and I had no idea how popular our storyline would be… or what that meant,” she wrote on Instagram Oct. 5. “We learned together! It was not always an easy time working together on that show, but years later we would laugh on calls about life.”

And in the end, Robinson noted she was “grateful to have had the opportunity to know him.”
