As reported by foreign media, veteran actor Tristan Rogers died on Friday, August 15, less than a month after the ‘General Hospital’ mainstay made a special appearance on the long-running serial, confirmed his manager, Meryl Soodak.
“He loved being Scorpio, and he created that role from nothing,” said the celebrity manager. “He was supposed to work a day, and he ended up making it into something huge. He was just a genuinely loyal, kind human being, and he loved his family.”
