Death at 43 for Billy Miller, Star of “The Young and the Restless” and “General Hospital”

Billy Miller, who starred in “The Young and the Restless” and “General Hospital,” and won a Daytime Emmy, passed away on Friday in Austin. He was 43.

Miller’s manager released a statement to Variety on Sunday, the day the actor’s 44th birthday would have been.

The actor “was battling manic depression at the time of his death,” the statement added.

Patricia Miller issued a statement through her son’s manager, who shared it on X (previously Twitter). The “overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and condolences sent to me and my family” after her son’s death was acknowledged, and she expressed gratitude for it.
The statement said, “He fought a long hard valiant battle with bipolar depression for years,” and was written by Patricia Miller.

He exhausted all possible means of containing the illness. He cared deeply for his loved ones, but his illness ultimately proved too much to overcome. The alternative explanations for death being spread are false. I’d love for them to be, but they’re not. We are all trying so hard to come to terms with his death because we loved him so much. I am at a loss for words. We appreciate all the care and concern.
