Actress Hunter Tylo’s Son Drowns

Hunter Tylo’s 19 year old son Micheal Tylo Jr. has died in what appears to be a drowning.

According to Clark County Coroner, Michael Murphy. “It has already been determined that this was an accident,” Murphy tells PEOPLE. “Looking at the report, it appears that he fell in the pool after having some sort of medical event. It says on the report that he had a seizure disorder.”

We are doing a toxicology report, but that is standard with all bodies that come to us,” adds Murphy. “That information won’t be available for several weeks. With this already having a cause of death, like a medical condition, it appears pretty evident that this is reason for him falling in the pool.”

The death, first reported by TMZ.com, occurred at a residence, and Michael Tylo was discovered by an unidentified family member, says Murphy.

This is so sad. Hunter Tylo who is known for her role as Taylor on The Bold and The Beautiful has been through difficult times before, in 1998 one of her daughters was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in her right eye forcing doctors to remove it. Hunter told PEOPLE at that time she relied on prayer to get her strength.
