The Young And The Restless Alum James Handy Dead After Brutal Attack
Veteran actor James Handy played the role of the Governor on The Young and the Restless (Y&R) from 2009 to 2011. And this week, fans of the CBS actor mourn his passing after an awful end to his life. Read on for more details.
The Death Of A Star
The news that James Handy passed away arrived via ABC7 LA, and other mainstream outlets. The details explained that on Wednesday, June 3, the 81-year-old actor was found unconscious with a stab wound to his chest.
It happened at his home in his yard in Tarzana, Los Angeles. Despite the best efforts of EMTs, he was unfortunately declared deceased on arrival at a hospital.
According to the outlet, the former Governor from The Young and the Restless also acted in other shows and movies like “Jumanji,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Arachnophobia.”
A Suspect Was Arrested
Per the report, a suspect was arrested and he was identified as Michael Gledhill, 44, the son of Handy’s girlfriend.
Apparently, he actually brought the incident to the attention of the police. And, the records show that he told the dispatcher:
I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin.
The Charges
Y&R and other TV buffs probably feel heartbroken by the fact that the charges preferred included one count of murder, with bail set at $2 million.
No doubt the case, if it goes to trial, will get a large following. And not because of James Handy being seen in Genoa City in the past. He was also popular for his guest role on Ryan’s Hope in the late 1970s.
