Actor and musician Cody Longo, known for his role in the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” was found dead Friday at his home in Austin, Texas, a representative confirmed to The Times. He was 34.
Police were called to the home after Longo’s wife, who had been working at a dance studio, struggled to reach him on Friday, the actor’s representative and friend Alex Gittelson said. They found Longo lying unresponsive on his bed. Though the cause of his death has not been determined, family members reported that Longo had dealt with alcoholism and underwent rehab this summer.
“Cody was our whole world,” Longo’s wife, Stephanie Clark, said in a statement. “The kids and I are shattered and beyond devastated. He was the best dad and best father. We will always and forever miss you and love you.”
