NEW YORK >> Cody Longo, an actor known for his roles in the television series “Hollywood Heights” and “Days of Our Lives,” was found dead Wednesday at his home in Austin, Texas. He was 34.
He died in his sleep, likely from accidental alcohol poisoning, said his representative, Alex Gittelson. Gittelson said that Longo had struggled with alcohol addiction for several years, but he believed that Longo had recently been sober.
Longo was a singer, songwriter, musician and music producer and served as a music supervisor and executive producer on film and television projects. He released his first EP, “Atmosphere,” in 2012 and the single “She Said” in 2013.
Longo starred in episodes of “Days of Our Lives” as Nicholas Alamain in 2011 and in the Nick at Nite drama “Hollywood Heights” as Eddie Duran, a music superstar, in 2012.
In 2016, he had roles on the ABC series “Nashville,” “Secrets and Lies” and “The Catch.”
