Despite his fiance initially attributing it to a severe case of COVID, an exclusive report from TMZ reveals that Musser's death was, in fact, a result of suicide. The report indicates that Musser was discovered unresponsive in the bathroom, slumped with a firearm nearby, by his fiance. Furthermore, the San Diego Country Medical Examiner's Office also relayed to TMZ that a self-inflicted gunshot wound was also found on Musser.
From TMZ:
Alec Musser died by suicide -- and the nature of his death is gruesome ... TMZ has learned.
The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office tells TMZ ... the 'All My Children' star was discovered dead last Saturday by his fiancée at their Del Mar, CA home -- and according to the report provided, it says he suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
We're told Musser's fiancée went to bed on Friday evening, and awoke the next day to find AM slumped over on their bathroom floor ... with a firearm near him as well.
The ME's office goes on to say that 911 was called, and when paramedics arrived -- Musser was confirmed as deceased. They note the firearm that was used was a shotgun ... and his death is listed as a suicide.
TMZ broke the story ... Musser's fiancée, Paige Press, confirmed his passing to us this past weekend, but didn't elaborate on the circumstances at the time. She later took to social media to remember her partner as "the best fiancé I could of ever asked for."
The whole series of events in this Musser's death story is undeniably peculiar, particularly in relation to his fiance Paige Press. One can't help but question why Press initially shared with the media that Alec had COVID and suspected his death was related to that illness, only for it to later be revealed that she found him in the bathroom with a firearm next to him, presumably amidst a significant amount of blood.
It's quite odd that Press introduced an entirely different narrative, especially given the skepticism surrounding COVID and mRNA vaccines. There are those who would readily embrace the theory linking Musser's death to these factors, instead of suicide.
