Robyn Bernard, best known for her tenure on General Hospital, died Tuesday (March 12). She was 64.

A press release from the Riverside County Sheriff and Coroner’s website revealed that early on Tuesday, her body was discovered in an “open field behind [a] business” in San Jacinto, California, per The Hollywood Reporter.

According to TMZ, her fingerprints were used to determine her identity, but a cause of death has not yet been announced; an autopsy was set to take place yesterday (March 13). However, the outlet reports that “toxicology will take several weeks” as part of the ongoing investigation.
