Body of former ‘General Hospital’ actress found in San Jacinto field
The body of a former actress was found in an open space behind a San Jacinto business, but there were no indications of anything suspicious, authorities said today.
The remains of Robyn Bernard, 64, of San Jacinto were located at about 4 a.m. Tuesday by passers-by in a field near the intersection of Commonwealth and San Jacinto avenues, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
Patrol deputies were called to the location and conducted a preliminary investigation.
"There was no evidence of foul play,'' sheriff's Sgt. Deirdre Vickers said.
It was unclear why or exactly how long Bernard, a former soap opera star, had been at the location.
According to TMZ, the Texas-born actress landed a major role on the show "General Hospital'' in 1984 and went on to appear as a regular in 145 episodes.
She also had minor roles in other shows and was last credited with on- screen work in 2002.
There was no word on how long she had been a Riverside County resident.
Vickers said the investigation into Bernard's death was ongoing. An autopsy was pending.
