The 32-year-old star of hit Aussie medical drama All Saints is believed to have killed himself after suffering from depression for many years.
His former employer, the Seven Network, released a statement a short time ago, calling Priestley a “tremendous young person” who will be sadly missed by his All Saints co-stars.
“Mark was such a brilliant artist… his work on stage and screen was admired by everybody who knew him,” Tim Worner, the Director of Programming and Production at Seven said.
“His death is such a sad loss. We at Channel Seven will miss his energy and smile.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark’s family and friends.”
The late actor played male nurse Dan Goldman in the popular Seven Network show. His character recently married fellow nurse Erica Templeton, portrayed by actress Jolene Anderson.
Below is a YouTube video of some of Mark’s most recent work on the Australian medical drama.
