Robert Kelker-Kelly, whose daytime television career included Days of Our Lives, Another World and General Hospital, has died at 62, according to Forbes.
He was best known for playing Bo Brady on Days of Our Lives. TVLine Television reported that he spent three years in the role.
How it unfolded
Kelker-Kelly died in Missouri on Saturday, October 3, according to a medical examiner cited by Mint. The outlet reported his death on October 5 and said the cause had not been disclosed.
On October 5, TMZ reported that Kelker-Kelly had complained of chest pain before his death. The supplied coverage does not establish what caused that pain.
Also on October 5, CNN Brasil reported that emergency responders received a call saying the actor was unconscious in bed. Its coverage attributed that account to another site's reporting.
On October 6, Fanpage also reported chest pain and a loss of consciousness. Those details describe the circumstances reported around his death, rather than a confirmed medical cause.
Where it stands
The available coverage confirms his death at 62 but does not provide a disclosed cause. Mint explicitly reported that the cause remained undisclosed.
The career accounts place his work across several major daytime dramas. Forbes listed Another World and General Hospital alongside Days of Our Lives, while TVLine Television highlighted his time as Bo Brady.
What to watch
The central unanswered question is the cause of death. Any further medical examiner findings could clarify whether the reported chest pain was connected to his death. The supplied coverage gives no timetable for that information.
