Highlander and General Hospital actor Stan Kirsch has died aged 51 after taking his own life in his Los Angeles home.
The actor was found dead in his home on Saturday.
The Los Angeles medical examiner ruled that Kirsch died by hanging.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Kirsch's wife, Kristyn Green, found him hanging in their bathroom.

'We tragically lost our beloved Stan Kirsch on January 11,' a statement on Kirsch's official Facebook page read.
'He was so loved and we are all just devastated.'
His wife shared the statement on her own Facebook page as she thanked everyone for the 'outpouring of love and support'.
'I haven't been able to respond to all the texts, calls, emails - but have read or listened to every single one of them,' she said.
'I feel surrounded by love and am forever grateful to each and every one of you.'
Kirsch was best known for playing Richie Ryan in the Highlander TV series for six seasons from 1992-1998.
The show paid tribute to him on their official Facebook page on Monday, saying the series would have been far less without him.
'It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Stan Kirsch. Without Stan Kirsch, Highlander: The Series would have been far less. He brought a sense of humor, kindness and youthful enthusiasm to the character of Richie Ryan for six seasons,' the statement said.
'Stan was at a disadvantage compared to other actors portraying immortals on the series. He was never able to have flashbacks from the 1800's or discuss how things were 'back in his day'.

A job or any profession or hobby is what you do. It is not who you are.

“The Los Angeles medical examiner ruled that Kirsch died by hanging “
Hmm, David Carradine’s initial report said the same thing.
I did the same thing as your #2 post. Eight years here and you’d think I’d read the whole article before posting; luckily I caught it this time. That’s one-in-a-row, for me.
“Honey, are you ok? You’ve been in the bathroom 3 hours!”
WHAT DID HE HAVE ON HILLIARY?
Had a bad agent?

I gave it a chance. Might have watched a good part of the first season. Gave up on it.
It was much better than the movie sequels, which were absolutely horrid. The original movie wasn’t really about chopping off heads. It was about the tragic struggle of an outcast in a brutal world, which I think is symbollic, and even though the soundtrack was rock and roll, the movie had a dual side to it that was quite mystical and melancholy. The TV show just seemed to spin serialized plot conflict (like almost all shows did) and got old fast

I thought most homo suicide was because men couldn’t marry men and women couldn’t marry women?
