Let’s Stay Together star Bert Belasco has passed away at the age of 38.
The actor’s father Bert Belasco Sr. confirmed to TMZ that his son’s body was found Nov. 8 inside a hotel room located in Richmond, Virginia.
According to family, Bert was preparing for a new movie role where he had to quarantine at a hotel before coming to set.
TMZ reported that Bert’s girlfriend couldn’t get a hold of him over the weekend. As a result, she asked hotel staff to check on him. Once they discovered him, authorities were called. The family is currently waiting on autopsy results, but Bert’s father believes his son suffered a fatal aneurysm.
