Several of Kristoff’s Y&R costars, including Eileen Davidson and Shemar Moore, have shared their heartbreak over his passing. The 2-time Daytime Emmy Award-winner’s life was plagued with problems prior to his passing. His son Julian, who he shared with ex-wife Mia St. John, committed suicide in 2014 while he was staying at a mental health facility. They later sued the facility for negligence.
Kristoff threatened to kill himself with a gun in 2017 around the anniversary of Julian’s suicide. He was placed under a 72-hour hold for psychiatric evaluation.
