“General Hospital” and “Young and the Restless” star Billy Miller really suffered in the end. His mother said in a statement that the 43 year old three time Emmy winner didn’t die of anything but bipolar depression.
Patricia Miller said:
“He fought a long hard valiant battle with bipolar depression for years. He did everything he could to control the disease. He loved his family, his friends and his fans but in the end the disease won the fight he surrendered his life. The other causes of death being told are not true. I wish they were but they just aren’t.”
So we can eliminate PSP, a neurological condition that was announced early without confirmation, and stroke. Bipolar depression can be devastating and must be addressed by doctors. Even so, nothing is guaranteed. “General Hospital” star Maurice Benard talks about his condition all the time, and recently cited on his YouTube show that he was very ill during the pandemic, swinging from highs to lows.
Miller was very talented and will be very missed. Ironically, the Daytime Emmy Awards have not aired because of the strikes. Maybe when they finally are broadcast, the Academy can do a tribute to him.
