- Patrick Muldoon died of a heart attack on April 19, 2026, at age 57.
- Days of Our Lives lost its original Austin Reed, a role Muldoon originated from 1992‑95 and reprised 2011‑12.
- Dirty Hands – a crime thriller slated for release later this year – now proceeds without Muldoon’s executive production.
Why it matters: Miriam Rothbart and the Dirty Hands team lose Muldoon’s executive guidance, which could push the film’s release past its slated later‑this‑year window, potentially hurting box‑office earnings.
