Patrick Muldoon, Star Of ‘Melrose Place’ : A news has come from Hollywood, which has broken the hearts of every TV show fan of the 90s. Early in the morning on April 20, 2026, a news came which was difficult to believe. Patrick Muldoon, the same actor who made his place in every American’s home by playing Austin Reed in ‘Days of Our Lives‘ and the villain Richard Hart in ‘Melrose Place‘, is no more. He breathed his last unnecessarily at the age of just 57.
Patrick Muldoon was a name that was a name in itself for a time. But today we see this personality in a new light – as a brother, a partner, an artist and a rockstar. In this article we will tell you in detail about the reason for his death, his last photo, his dreams and his legacy.
Patrick Muldoon’s Death : The morning that changed everything
The date was April 19, 2026. It was a typical Sunday morning, but at their home in Beverly Hills this morning was no less than apocalypse. The actor had coffee with his girlfriend Miriam Rothbart in the morning. After this he went to the bathroom to take a bath, but when he did not come out for a long time, his girlfriend got worried. When they went there, they saw Patrick lying unconscious on the bathroom floor.
The actor’s manager confirmed the sad news a few hours later. He told that Patrick Muldoon had suffered a heart attack and because of that he died. According to the report of Deadline, it was a sudden heart attack, due to which he died on the spot.
As soon as this news spread on social media, a wave of mourning spread everywhere. There was only one question in everyone’s mind – how did such a healthy, active and fit person suddenly go away? His sister Shana Muldoon-Zappa said that Patrick did not have any serious illness before. It was a fulminant heart attack, which took his life.
That Last Post : The face that said ‘so excited’ is no longer alive
That’s probably the saddest part. On April 17, 2026, just two days before his death, Patrick Muldoon shared a post on his Instagram account. He had expressed great curiosity about a new film project called ‘Cockroach’.
The film itself featured big stars like Chris Hemsworth, Taron Egerton and Zazie Beetz. Patrick was so happy about it that he wrote – “So excited to be a part of this amazing project.” He shared a screenshot of a Deadline article and expressed his excitement in the caption.
In one post, he was seen playing guitar over the Easter weekend, where he looked quite relaxed. Seeing this it did not seem possible that after a few hours this man would be separated from the world forever. Thousands of fans are now paying tribute to his last post by commenting ‘RIP’.
Acting Career : Journey from ‘Days of Our Lives’ to ‘Starship Troopers’
Patrick Muldoon was born on September 27, 1968 in San Pedro, California. He was a graduate of the University of Southern California (USC), where he won two Rose Bowl rings while playing on the football team.
He started his career in the 1990s, but gained recognition from ‘Days of Our Lives’. He played Austin Reed from 1992 to 1995, which he later reprized in 2011–12. After this, in 1995-96, he played the role of villain Richard Hart in ‘Melrose Place’.
However, the film that made him popular all over the world was the 1997 cult classic ‘Starship Troopers’. In this film, he played the role of a cocky pilot named Xander Barcalow, which people still like today.
Recently, his last film was ‘Dirty Hands’, which is a crime thriller and was scheduled to release later this month. He said that he would return to the audience very soon, but alas, this film has now become his legacy.
Co-Stars’ Pain : From Alison Sweeney to Dean Cain
His co-stars are also deeply saddened by Patrick’s death. His ‘Days of Our Lives’ co-star Alison Sweeney wrote an emotional post on Twitter, calling it ‘heartbreaking’.
“Pat was a unique human being – brilliantly talented, infinitely kind and a generous soul.”
Apart from this, ‘Lois & Clark’ star Dean Kane and Jake Getman, who appeared in ‘Dancing with the Stars’, also paid tribute to him by sharing old pictures on social media.
Patrick Muldoon’s Net Worth and Legacy
Although Patrick Muldoon came a long way in Hollywood, according to many reports, his net worth was estimated to be around $1.5 million dollars (approximately Rs 12.5 crore). He made most of his earnings from TV shows and film production.
In his last days, he was producing many films under the company named ‘Storyboard Productions’. His upcoming films like ‘Riff Raff’ and ‘The Dreadful’ were also in the pipeline.
Tribute
Although he is no longer with us today, his films and his music will always live on. The God above probably wanted to start a new show in his heavenly theater, and so he called in one of Hollywood’s finest actors.
You will always be remembered, Patrick Muldoon.
