‘He was a beloved member of the Heartland cast the last two seasons. On behalf of the Heartland cast and crew, our thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time.’

Cormier’s sister reportedly told The Hollywood Reporter that he died in hospital in in Etobicoke, Ontario, of injuries pertaining to a fall.

The actor began his career with a role in Four 1 Liberation Front in 2008, going on to appear in the TV show Designated Survivor in 2016.

He also appeared in the series Bizarre Murders in 2018, before taking on the role of Kit Jennings in Netflix’s Slasher in 2019.

Showrunner Ian Carpenter added: ‘It’s with a heavy heart that we’ve learned of the passing of Robert Cormier who brought such life to Kit on Slasher Solstice. He was uniquely talented, and a sweet, generous friend we all loved working with. Our thoughts are with him and his family through this difficult time.’
