RIP: Tyler Christopher has passed

[Liberty City]

The latest post on IG is... disturbing. I kind of wish whoever is handling his social media would stop.

During this difficult time, these last 2wks I’ve been lovingly embraced by so many of my costars & reunited w/ old friends to share memories & also those who still need more time since the news of Tylers passing.

This one HURTS …., I couldn’t & I still struggle finding it difficult too write my thoughts or even choose the appropriate words to give a glimpse of what T.C., meant in my life, & what we shared over 25yrs! Which is simply impossible! I lost more than a co-star, and a friend, I lost a brother!

But know this, “we laughed together, we cried together, we celebrated in every way! We went & cheered at our favorite college football teams for which our trips to the horseshoe, “The Ohio State Buckeyes,” I could never get away from that stadium fast enough, after watching my Texas Longhorns win & then going to watch Texas again, win the National Championship Rose-bowl the same year in 2005! Ok… OSU won in Austin in 06’

I walked 6th st in a bucks jersey … happy now

We’d challenge one another on set and then take it to the gym with Drew to see who would be at their best! Which was always the T.C. way! He pushed me to push him!! Iron sharpens Iron!

Our journeys to fan events across the country, conversations deep into the night would sometimes have to end by rock, paper, scissors challenge to determine a winner!

TC, Derk & myself, the biker boys motorcycle adventures throughout the LA canyons, Mulholland road or down the PCH to make a Thursday night football game after work!

T.C., it was an amazing ride! I love ya always & will cherish those memories forever! GBYA Go Bucks // Go Horns   #princeofportcharles #fourmusketters #nicolascassadine #generalhospital #daysofourlives

 I heard it's his sister who's posting on his page, and that she was asking for $$ and there was a lot of issues with her and Tyler

[Contessa Donatella]

Well, when he had his traumatic brain injury for awhile after that,  she was his conservator & recently he came to believe that she had stolen 40 thou from him during that time. She says she took care of business & helped him stay alive & took no funds personally. I think he had a lawsuit pending against her when he died. Her name is Susan & I believe she is the one who asked for donations & is also the one who decided he'd be buried in Ohio instead of in CA. Also she said he did not want a funeral. Someone else disputes all 3 of those things.

I agree. These messages should be posted on THEIR Instagram. Not his. A dead person can't speak for themselves so no one should be using said dead person's social media once their thoughts and voice gets silenced forever. That sounds morbid, I know, but that's my opinion.

That said, again, my main issue is the person isn't identifying themselves. Other than the previous post, we still didn't know officially who was posting on his supposed behalf.

 

 

[Liberty City]

No. It makes complete sense and is what should happen... and it makes me wonder what else this person supposedly has access to. Bank accounts? Emails? I hate being that person, but this just feels... unsettling. Maybe one post stating "X has passed away" and then don't post on the account again. Leave it at that.

[Contessa Donatella]

I wholeheartedly agree. It is creeping me out. 

[Errol]

Agree with your agreement. I'll keep my mouth shut on elaborating but we are thinking similarly.

Oh, no. Just when I think maybe it has died down ... 

[Errol]

Nothing new is posted on that website from what has already been discussed in this thread. The post on that site is directly based on the most recent comments others have made about the Instagram posts on Tyler's account.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, I agree. However, the very fact that some entity does an article on it is potential for fans to get stirred up again. That is one of the things I find disrtressing about this saga. 

[Errol]

It's a relevant story. I personally haven't posted an article on any of what's since come to light because it's disturbing on both sides. I'll only report relevant information. Now, that doesn't mean I can't comment on it here on the message boards, but that is in no way an expression of me as a journalist. Those are just my personal opinions.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, I see that distinction perfectly with your posts here in the SON community. You wear two different hats & you wear them well.
