No foul play was found, however, alcohol is suspected to have played a role. St. John’s ex-wife Mia St. John took to social media and expressed her anger over the death of Kristoff writing,

“THAT HOSPITAL KILLED OUR SON @TheArtofJulian THEN MY HUSBAND @kristoffstjohn1 THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED! THEY KILLED MY FAMILY”

Kristoff’s son committed suicide in 2014 while in a mental facility, the St. John’s sued the hospital for negligence and the suit was settled. In 2017 on the anniversary of Julian’s death, Kristoff was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold after threatening to kill himself with a gun.

Kristoff had earned nine Daytime Emmys for his role as Neil Winters, a role he had since 1991, he also won 10 NAACP Image Awards. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kristoff St. John’s friends and family.
