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.
