Oh wow…this is so incredibly sad to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with Hunter and her family.

I was shocked and saddened to hear this. I feel so bad for Hunter and her family. My thoughts are with them at this time.
It’s an eerie coincidence that her B&B character, Taylor, just gave birth a few days ago to a baby boy. Sad.

- Nadège on October 19th, 2007

I feel so bad for Hunter. I remember years ago her daughter katya had cancer in her right eye and needed surgery, and last year hunter and her husband michael were breaking up, and now this. Poor Hunter has been through a lot. My prayers are with hunter and their family.

- gianna on October 19th, 2007

This family has had more its share of hard time. Her being fired from Melrose Place for being pregnant, then her daughter’s eye cancer, now this. My heart goes out to them!

- Callen on October 19th, 2007

How traumatic for the family. I am so sorry for their loss. I can’t imagine how devastating it must be to lose a child so tragically.

- Kate on October 19th, 2007

My prayers are with Hunter and her entire family. She’s a wonderful person and mother, and I hate that this would happen to anyone.

- terri on October 19th, 2007

Michael Tylo is one of the most talented actors ever on daytime. This is such sad news about his and Hunter’s son. May God bring them comfort.

- Janine on October 19th, 2007

Shelby: in the people.com photo, Hunter’s two daughters are in the white and yellow shirts. The other young girls are the daughters or Lorenzo Lamas. I don’t know who the older girl is though.

- Heather on October 20th, 2007

That is so Sad I suffer from something a little bit similar and mum has saved me twice

- Julia on October 20th, 2007

I’m really sorry to hear that. It’s terrible.

- Hea on October 20th, 2007

That’s so sad. My prayers go out to Hunter and her family.

- terri1 on October 20th, 2007

Oh my that is so sad! It’s also ironic that lately I’ve been watching old episodes of Zorro where Michael Tylo played the infamous Alcalde, in 1990-91/92, and now his son is gone! That is so sad! (If he was anything like his father in the looks dept., it’s a loss to the world.)

Hopefully the Tylo family will be able to get through this latest tragedy smoothly.

(I also hope that Michael Jr. really did have a medical condition, and not that he was just another celeb teen/young adult partier who died a’la Keith Moon or whatever.)

- Autumn on October 20th, 2007

This is such a sad thing to have happened. Her house is just a few miles away from me!

- angelbaby33 on October 20th, 2007

What devastating news. I can’t even imagine what she’s going through right now. My prayers are with her and her family.

- Michelle on October 20th, 2007

Am really saddened by her loss.
May God grant her family peace and solace in this time of mourning.

- passy on October 22nd, 2007

How incredibly tragic. I feel terrible that any parent has to face the death of one of their children. My thoughts are with her.

- gianna on November 3rd, 2007

You’re a wonderful son for looking after your mother like this, Chris. You may not realize it now, but your support and love is what is getting your parents through this right now. They are very lucky to have you! Hope you can all find some peace one day soon.

- PSB on November 3rd, 2007

I am very sorry for the loss of your son. I, like so many others, have lost children, so I know your pain. It is not natural for children to go before their parents. Cherish his sweet life, he was here for a reason! I believe we are here to learn lessons, we have to go through so much. We blame God, doubt God, curse God. I am not religious but consider myself to be spiritual. I do believe in a higher power and know there is something out there. We are here to learn so hopefully we will accept and understand why things happen as they do. Remember him, love him, accept his journey onward… with love and blessings
