Story summary

Robert Kelker-Kelly, a 62-year-old actor best known for his role as Bo Brady on "Days of Our Lives," died from arteriosclerotic heart disease, according to the Office of the Regional Medical Examiner in St. Charles, Missouri. The medical examiner confirmed this after Kelker-Kelly was found unresponsive and not breathing at his home on October 3rd following chest pain earlier that evening.

Kelker-Kelly's wife, Allison Kelly, had picked him up from Spirit of St. Louis Airport around 7:30 PM when he complained of chest and left arm pain during the drive home. He declined hospital treatment, opting instead to lie down at their Missouri residence before his condition worsened.

Emergency personnel were dispatched shortly after 8:16 PM and attempted to revive Kelker-Kelly using advanced life-saving measures, but ultimately pronounced him dead at the scene with no suspicious circumstances noted initially by authorities.
