Cody Longo died in his sleep from what is believed to be accidental alcohol poisoning, his agent said.
The actor Cody Longo, known for his appearances in the television drama “Days of Our Lives,” was found dead in the Texas home he shared with his family this week.
Longo died in his sleep from what is believed to be accidental alcohol poisoning, his agent, Alex Gittelson, told The , although authorities could not immediately confirm the account. His body was discovered Wednesday morning, Gittelson said.
“Cody was our whole world,” his wife, Stephanie Longo, said in a statement sent via Gittelson. “The kids and I are shattered and beyond devastated. He was the best dad and best father. We will always and forever miss you and love you.”
Longo, sometimes known as Cody Anthony, was best known for appearing in 2011 on the NBC soap “Days of Our Lives,” on which he played Nicholas Alamain. He went on to star as Eddie Duran in the 2012 series “Hollywood Heights” and appeared in films including “Bring It On: Fight to the Finish” with Christina Milian. His other acting credits include “CSI: NY,” “Nashville” and “Make It or Break It,” according to IMDb.
Longo was arrested and charged with felony sexual assault involving a child in January 2020, but it was later dismissed when the actor pleaded it down to misdemeanor assault, according to Clarksville Now, a newspaper based near his home at the time in Tennessee.
