Patrick Muldoon’s Death Certificate Reveals Days Of Our Lives Cause

Patrick Muldoon’s death certificate has added the clearest official detail yet to the days of our lives actor’s April 19 death: myocardial infarction, or a heart attack, was listed as the immediate cause. The document also names hereditary coagulopathy disorder and pulmonary embolism as underlying causes, giving a more specific medical record for the 57-year-old actor and producer.

Los Angeles certificate details

The County of Los Angeles’ Department of Public Health released the death certificate, which says Muldoon died shortly before 11 a.m. on April 19. It also lists his occupation as actor and producer, says he was never married, and records that he was cremated on April 28.

That sequence matters because the certificate does more than mark a date. It connects the final medical finding to a chain of causes: myocardial infarction at the top, with hereditary coagulopathy disorder and pulmonary embolism underneath. For readers who knew him from Days of Our Lives and Starship Troopers, the official filing replaces speculation with a specific account of how his death was recorded.

April 21 tributes

Two days after his death, Denise Richards wrote on Instagram: “This is so hard for me to put into words. I am deeply heartbroken & devastated losing you. You were my best friend & my family” and Tori Spelling posted, “I wasn’t ready to write because then it felt real. And, this shouldn’t be real” along with “What I met and ultimately fell in love w/ was not just a beautiful on the outside creature but the most beautiful soul.” Both posts gave a private loss a public frame before the certificate added medical specifics.

Muldoon was in a committed relationship with Miriam Rothbart at the time of his death, and his death certificate says he was 57. The new filing leaves a tighter public record than the early notice of death alone, and it is the version that now defines the story: a familiar television actor, an April 19 heart attack, and two underlying conditions recorded on the certificate.
