The longtime soap star passed away while filming a new movie he was working on.
Longtime soap opera actor Jay Pickett has died — this while he was actually doing his job in front of the camera. Jay passed Thursday on the set of a new film he was working on called « Treasure Valley » in Idaho — so says his costar and co-producer for the flick, Jim Heffel, who shared the tragic news on Facebook… explaining he actually died while they were preparing to shoot a scene. Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Post. He writes, « Jay died sitting on a horse ready to rope a steer in the movie Treasure Valley in Idaho. The way of a true cowboy. » Not much more was discussed as to how he ended up keeling over, but it sounds like it was sudden… and an official cause of death isn’t out yet.
