Lindsey Pearlman, who was best known for her acting role in the TV series including General Hospital has been found dead age 43.
The Los Angeles Police Department released a statement earlier this month announcing that Pearlman had gone missing.
It said that she had last been seen on February 13 at 4pm, although her husband Vance Smith posted on Instagram that she had last been seen a couple of days later.
The alert from the LAPD explained that she’s “failed to return home and has not been seen or heard from since”.

The statement confirmed: “The LA County Coroner’s Office has since confirmed the individual to be Lindsey Erin Pearlman. The cause of death will be determined by the coroner.”
Hundreds of tribute posts have since flooded social media, including a heartbreaking statement from Pearlman’s husband.
