Days of Our Lives actor Francisco San Martin has died at 39.
According to reports, police found him at his Los Angeles home on Thursday. Tributes have been pouring in from his co-stars, including Camila Banus, who played his on-screen sister Gabi and posted on Instagram: "Pepe, what can I say but I love you and rest in peace, my friend. Love you mucho mucho mucho. I wish I had told you more."
The actor is believed to have died by suicide, the Los Angeles County Coroner's office told the Hollywood LA News. San Martin was known for playing Dario Hernandez in long-running drama Day of Our Lives. He was born in Spain but moved to Montana, United States when he was a child.
San Martin first got his taste of acting in children's theatre shows before he went into modelling. He spent years training to become an actor as a teenager and finally had his big break with Days of Our Lives. The actor appeared in several episodes between 2010 to 2011.
His other projects included a role in the 2013 film Behind the Candelabra. In 2017, San Martin returned to daytime TV with a role in The Bold and the Beautiful. He starred in 16 episodes as groundskeeper Mateo on the CBS show.
