Actor Keller Fornes, best known for his role as Tower Trooper in The Walking Dead, has tragically passed away at just 32 years old for reasons that remain unknown. Once again, the entertainment world mourns the loss of a promising talent.
Fornes was also known for his roles in Country Rescue and Found and appeared in high-profile projects like the miniseries Genius. He had also starred in films such as Origin (2023) and Hidden Secrets (2021).
Although the actor struggled with alcohol addiction in the past, he had reportedly been sober for five years after overcoming his challenges in 2019. While it’s unclear if his passing was related to a relapse or another health issue, Fornes had been looking forward to joining new projects in the coming months.
His family shared the heartbreaking news, keeping most details private. They revealed that Keller Fornes’ body was found on December 19 in Eastland, Texas. Out of respect for the holidays, they chose to wait until after Christmas to announce the tragic event.
Great American Media announced his passing in a statement shared on Instagram on Monday. “We at Great American Media are deeply saddened by the passing of Keller Fornes. He was a special person and talent as an actor, writer, and director as well as a singer and musician,” the statement read. “His energy and enthusiasm lifted all he worked with here at Great American Media and the cast and crew of County Rescue. Our prayers are with his family and all those he touched.”
