This was just too much for him to handle. RIP Kristoff St. John...

That poor man never recovered from losing a child.R.I.P Kristoff St John.You will be sadly missed.

Rest in peace father and son.

This poor man literally grieved himself to death - I can't even imagine...prayers for the St. John family...

Kristoff, I know you couldn't take the pain of being without your son anymore. Makes me so sad. RIP sir!

God bless his soul/spirit!!! He was just in too much pain.

This is so sad. Kristoff I pray you are at peace and reunited with your son again 💔🙏💔💔💔. I have so many memories of watching you on Y&R . You will be truly missed. You seemed to be the epitome of a class act on daytime television

I can't stop crying! He was broken inside! Now our hearts are broken! Rest with your son Angel

So sad! He died of a broken heart!

"people should never die in a hospital because of lack of care, NEVER!"- Kristoff St.John

Its heart breaking when I see someone who was in so much pain. He had the money, the connections, everything, yet nobody was able to help this poor man. The pain of losing his son was just too much. My heart goes out to those who loved him and his son.

This break my heart just like Whitney a nd her baby girl Bobbie Kriss!😢😢😢😢🦋🌹

I grew up watching Kristoff on Television when I was just a Child and he was A Child Actor. And All I Can Say is, To see him come so far in his Career without a Single Scandal and to know he died of A Broken Heart makes this Sad Beyond Measure. RIP Kristoff

I work at a psychiatric hospital. When people are a high suicide risk they are put on a 1:1 status. Which means there is one staff member at all times. They are NEVER left alone. Weather they shower, go to the bathroom. Staff is always with them. Also we NEVER use PLASTIC bags on the unit. Just paper bags.

The sad part about this is I totally understand how he felt because I am fighting these nursing homes for the lack of care to our elderly and sick. So many workers don’t care about these people and they should not be working in the healthcare-including mental healthcare field. Not caring~~>Kills!!! RIP Kristoff. Started watching in 1981 with my mama.

I'ma go hug my boys and let them know I'm always there no matter what. I don't care how old they are and how old I get. Prayers to Kristoff St, John and son.

Mental Health Illness is REAL ‼️ RIP, Kristoff St. John & Julián St. John ... Continue Prays To The Family 🙏🏽❤️

Absolutely nothing worse. It breaks you. RIP Kristoff. Hope you have found peace.

Heartbreaking...I hope they are both at peace.

His son’s death without a doubt left feeling he couldn’t live without him. Some people can’t get over the death of someone they truly love.

His wife Mia said that he drank himself to death after Julian's suicide. So sad. RIP to both.

RIP Kristoff. My heart broke for you when your beloved Julian passed and now it breaks for your family, friends and coworkers as well. A tragic situation all around....😥😥😥😥

Wow Condolences to his little girls..

This man was heartbroken! Thank the good Lord he is at peace now that he is with his son.

For some reason, this reminds me of the two twin girls who were born dying and were separated and put into two separate incubators at the hospital. They began to loose vitals quicker than when they were together. A nurse then put them into the same incubator and once they felt the touch of the other sibling they both were responding to their medicines and survived. I saw this in Dr. Gregg Braden’s video here on KZfaq. Made me think of this because you can’t take a sick person away from their loved ones and into some institution where no one really loves or cares about them. The nurses do a great job but it’s not what the heart of the patient wants! His son should have been home with his dad and family and surrounded by love and have nurses and therapists come to his home to help him sort out his mind. His father should have been there to talk to him everyday about what life is and how to live well and to tell his son how much he loves him and if there was any trama caused by his dad not being there for him when he was growing up because he divorced his mother- he should have told him each day how much he loved him. Maybe take your son on a trip, do things with him everyday. Make up for some time lost. I could imagine that would have helped or even saved his son immensely instead of leaving him at a facility where he was probably miserable and showed him how alone he really was and how easy it was to try suicide even multiple times. The negligence here is astounding. Also, with that being said- I don’t blame the parents, I truly do think they did what they knew to do. May God ease their minds, hearts and souls. Xx

It's too much for him now he is peace with his son RIP Kristoff St.John🙏🏿🙏🏿💔

I'm so sorry for your loss. I met you at Sick Kid's Hospital years ago when my sister was there for cancer treatment. We watched Y&R for at least ten years so to meet you was an unforgettable experience and you could not have been nicer. Thank you so much for that.

R.I.P KRISTOFF ST.JOHN

So sad to hear this about Kristoff St.John. I grew up watching Y&R. "Neil" is gonna be sadly missed Condolences to his family, friends & his "Y&R" family/friends. RIParadise Kristoff⚘😔🙏

Omg that’s so sad and they didn’t Monitor him like they should have come RIP to the both of them

I agree wholeheartedly ppl shouldn't die in mental hospitals due to a lack of caring unprofessionally for the ones whom are ill that need us. AGAIN .. My deepest & sincere Condolences go out to him kristoff & his family🙏Prayers he will be forever missed 💔💕🙏😟 forever in my heart & loved

Heartbreaking!

Such incompetency has now taken both their lives...but today we must turn it around...and help to continue Kristoff St. John's and Mia's work to help change conditions at mental hospitals. Kristoff and Julian are now angels in the cause for justice. God bless their eternal spirits.

You're reunited with your son. RIP.

This is sad. What a heavy burden of THE WHY'S ???? on his (her) mind, heart and soul for Now this.....PRAYING for this entire family.

Omg I know his pain. my son passed away 10 years ago. It's so hard to move forward with life, 😥. RIP you are with your son again. 😥

RIP Kristoff you are with your son now. 😔

I'm so glad I ran across this video because I was about to admit my mentally ill son in a long term facility but I'm keeping him at home with me I will continue with his treatments with his therapists after watching this that's horrible as a parent I expect my kids to bury me first not the other way around .

The sad truth is that this is very common!! Praying your strength ..

I believe he died of a Broken Heart. This man was hurting so much, for the death of his son. This is a parent's worst nightmare, is to bury their child. Continued Prayers Kristoff's Family and Friends. My Lord... This is still unreal.

Mia we are praying for you and your peace. with LOVE, Cilla Strickland (Tampa, Florida)

Kristoff u are know with your son He just could not live with a broken heart anymore. I know the feeling, l lost my mother and husband with in months apart. Still Grieving not the same person anymore, R.I.P. Kristoff I will miss seeing your face on the young and Restless.

You was a amazing actor and a great person. You will be missed. RIP Kristoff St. John

This is sad no one should ever die in a mental hospital I pray justice is served.

God bless 'Neil' Kristoff St John. May you find peace with your son. 💝

This is why I speak all my feelings and never hold nothing in. Idgaf what a person says about me. Im going to speak my mind and i'm not shutting up for nobody unless God who gave me this mouth shuts it..I will speak all my feelings. Dont tell me to shut up either. Cause i'm not. Peerrriiiiooooott

So very sad, devastating pain for two loving, involved, concerned parents and now Kristoff's death - just too much!

R.I.P. My brother. You will be missed. Planned to get married this year too. SMDH.

Along with everyone else, I'd like to share my deepest condolences to the loved ones of Kristoff St. John, his son and son's mother. It's hard to see him in so much pain. I feel so bad for all of them and for this very sad outcome. May they rest in peace.

I am heart broken!💔 I grew up watching Y & R, because of Neil Winters, his Character on the show. He and Drucilla was our black LOVE STORY!! Kristoff, you are with your Angel now, Jullian. Rest in Paradise Father and Son.🙏

I pray to God he and his son can hold each other and find peace in each others arms. Life is so cruel, that there must be a justice in another place.

Continued Prays for Christoff and family. I know how it feels to lose someone you love. Just wish Kevin showed more sympathy in the moment.

My Mom aways said it was harder for a parent to bury there children , I remember when I was younger after my uncle passed away my grandma was never the same , Depression is so serious and Afro-American are just starting to open up and share there experience with mental illness because of the stigma attached to it , There are so very many Afro-American suffering today and are self medicating and the symptom are getting worst.

Yes sometimes life seems too much but its important to keep it moving along. Do not give up! RIP Kristoff.

This is soooo very hard to deal with. I have loved this wonderfully talented actor for years as Neil Winters on Y&R and I even remember him on Alex Haley's "Roots". I can only hope that he and his son have reunited by the hands of God and that there is final peace for both father and son holding one another and never letting go of the other. Kristoff, please do not forget those of us (fans) who will forever and always remember you in our own special way. Also, please give my love to Mrs. "C" . I know you 2 will have so many memories of your days on the Y&R set to laugh about. RIP, my sweet Prince of daytime television.

Very sad situation....kristoff you will now have the peace you desire being reunited with your son Julien..Rest in Peace father and son

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING BEYOND 💔 WORDS

Its hard kris even with help to go through that , you did your best and thats all that mattered.

RIH my dear brother you will be missed 😥

Watching him choke up, made me BALL MY EYES OUT😭😭😭

Sorry for your loss Kristoff keep the Faith !!!! Time will heal !!!! Remember the good times !!!!!

Heartbreaking to watch this. Especially now.

So sad....R.I.P Kristoff St. John

No one should died in hospital...lack care. #I agree

This is sad. I think he blamed himself for putting his son in that institution that failed his son.

He died of a broken heart.My sister died the same way from alcohol poisoning,after her son died by suicide

You are now reunited with your beloved son

I hope they were contacted by the CCHR and filed the complaint with them! These places abuse people and can't be trusted. God bless Kristoff and his son. Rest in sweet peace.

RIP to son and father. So sad 😞

Overall so sad. I pray Kristoff now is at peace united with his son. May you be granted eternal rest 🙏🏼 resting in Paradise 😔💔

Rest In Peace

REST EASY BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT...WOW I'M JUST FLOORED

This is so sad. My condolences to his family. Damn Kristoff

So sad he loved his son so much he never got over it God bless him

This Couple aged so gracefully! RIP Son and Dad!

Rest in peace kristoff. 🙏❤

My heart hurts for his daughters, they lost a brother and a father.

Especially now since he’s passed this is truly so sad. He probably died of a broken heart.

You will greatly be missed Kristoff Nay you and your son RIEP together

Sleep In Peace Kristoff wrapping your arms around your son Julian tightly 💔😢💔😢

May both of them rest in peace. So sad. This is what put Kristoff over the edge.

Lord Jesus he died from a broken heart ... That breaks my 💔

Death is a hard pill to swallow I can relate I was traumatized for many years over my Mother's untimely passing over 10 years ago and I just had to turn to God for help but it doesn't turn out that way for everyone may he and his sons souls be at peace 🙏

RIP Kristoff. My heart breaks for your girls.

Kristoff was about to get a big paycheck from that hospital

RIP Kristoff St John. May your soul rest. Love.

Does anyone know if Kristoff and Mia were vindicated in their lawsuit? That hospital should pay dearly. What a tragedy!

His heart was shattered and he couldn't overcome it.

My heart goes out to the family. My son was diagnosed with the same mental illness at 17 and for 13 years dealing with doctors, meds, and hospitals was a nightmare. My son committed suicide at the age of 30 with 2 previous attempts. The last attempt will forever be with me... I begged the doctors to admit him to the hospital on January 11, 2009, because his actions had been a little quiet and subtle ( getting immediate family names tattooed on him and each day eating his favorite foods ) after about a 72 hour stay in the hospital he was released ( January 14, 2009 ) on January 16, 2009 he ended his life. In my grief I would always wonder “ maybe if I could have afforded the better hospitals and doctors maybe he would still be with us” only after I heard about and saw Mr. St John grief stricken interview ( I felt that he was telling our story verbatim ) in 2014 did I believe and understand.... we are all in this thing called life and not one of us will leave it UNSCATHED.... not one!

RIP, I understood your pain, having buried 2 sons😪

I tried to watch this beautiful video. Then I tried watching without Bette accompanying the video. I can't do it. It just hurts too much. I miss this man so much. Our world misses Kristoff. R.I.P. ❤

A broken heart is so painful to deal with..... so very sad. May you find everlasting peace now and reunite with your son. God bless you.

May he rest in peace now🙏🙏🙏

Reunited in Heaven 💫🙏💫may God Bless you both😢

Rip 😢 your at peace now, but you will be surly missed 💔

Rest in peace! You will be missed! It’s such a tragedy and you can see the toll his son’s passing took on him. So heartbreaking losing a child.

R.I.P To Both Of Em 🙏🏾💔💯

I hope he's at peace

Sad that celebrities and so many people relying on wealth for peace and comfort. When the Lord says : Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace who's mind is stayed on thee. (ISAIAH 26:3) KJV. Just like the song say" Take it to the Lord in Prayer". The bible is the best form of protection, it is the book for life. And yet, many refuse to read it. Inside you will find the answers to your problems.

PRAYING FOR THE ST JOHN FAMILY. RIP.
