Kristoff St. John, best known for his role on the long-running soap opera "Young and the Restless," died Sunday, police said.

He was 52.

Emergency crews responded around 2 p.m. Sunday in the 2300 block of Morea Way in the San Fernando Valley. According to TMZ, friends went to check on St. John and found him unresponsive.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said there was no sign of foul play, and St. John appeared to have suffered from an alcohol overdose.

The 52-year-old has played Neil Winters on the soap opera since 1991, earning him multiple Daytime Emmy Award nominations and several NAACP Image Awards.

St. John and his ex-wife, boxer Mia St. John, lost their son in 2014 when he took his own life while getting treatment at a mental health facility, TMZ reports. The family sued the treatment center for negligence and the suit was settled, according to TMZ.
