The acting world is prematurely saying goodbye to another actor. In this case, the death of Keller Fornes, 32, who had begun to make a name for himself in recent years, has been announced. The actor died of unknown causes, and it has not been revealed that he was suffering from any illness and he had been sober for several years.
Fornes was known for his role in series such as 'The Walking Dead', where he played Tower Trooper. He also left his mark on other series, including 'Country Rescue' and 'Found', some of his main contributions in the United States. He also appeared in other renowned projects such as 'Genius'.
On the other hand, Keller Fornes had time to make some forays into the big screen, being a member of the cast of films such as 'Origin' in 2023 or 'Buried Secrets', in 2021. Until now these had been his main contributions, although it was expected that he could join a project in the coming months.
Keller Fornes overcame alcoholism in 2019
The news of his death has come through his family, who have now announced, after the Christmas holidays, that on December 19 they found his lifeless body. In their statement they did not reveal the reasons for his death, which occurred at the age of 32 and when his career seemed to be on the rise.
Fornes had been sober for five years, away from his problems with alcohol, which he faced years ago and which he overcame in 2019. Since then it is not known whether he had relapsed or was suffering from an illness that had not transpired, which could explain his sudden death, which has shocked those who were his work colleagues.
