Story summary

Robert Kelker-Kelly, an actor known for his roles on the soap operas "Days of Our Lives," "General Hospital," and "Another World," died at age 62 in Missouri on October 3, 2023. The St. Peters Police Department responded to a report of an unconscious male who was not breathing around 8:16 PM, where paramedics attempted CPR but were unsuccessful. Emergency dispatch audio reveals that the caller struggled to remove Kelker-Kelly from his bed and that he had reportedly complained about chest pain shortly before becoming unresponsive.

Kelker-Kelly played Bo Brady on "Days of Our Lives" from 1992 to 1995, taking over the role from actor Peter Reckell. He also portrayed Sam Fowler in "Another World," "Stavros Cassadine" in various episodes of "General Hospital," and Dr. Shane Roberts on the same show after his initial departure.

Lisa Rinna, a former castmate who played Billie Reed on "Days of Our Lives," described Kelker-Kelly as unpredictable, giving her a daily dose of either his "nice" or "dark" side during their time working together. His fellow actor's comments highlight the tumultuous nature of their professional relationship despite sharing awards such as the Hottest Soap Couple award in 1995.

A cause of death has not yet been officially released, and law enforcement found nothing suspicious at the scene, indicating it was likely a medical incident rather than foul play.
