Days of Our Lives actor Patrick Muldoon had been public about his relationships prior to his death. The Melrose Place alum's manager confirmed to Variety in April 2026 that the actor died at age 57. His sister, Shana Muldoon-Zappa, told TMZ that Muldoon had gone to take a shower after drinking coffee with his girlfriend, Miriam Rothbart, in their Beverly Hills home. After some time had passed, Rothbart checked on him and found him unconscious on the bathroom floor. Paramedics were called to revive Muldoon.
