Cody Longo, From Days of Our Lives and Make It or Break It, Dead at 34
Actor Cody Longo, who appeared on Days of Our Lives as well as Make It or Break It, has died, according to our sister site Variety. He was just 34 years old.
Longo was found dead at his home in Austin, Texas on Wednesday after his wife Stephanie Clark called police to check on him while she was at work at a local dance studio. (TMZ first reported the news.) Longo and Clark had three children together.
“Cody was our whole world,” Clark said in a statement. “The kids and I are shattered and beyond devastated. He was the best dad and best father. We will always and forever miss you and love you.”
Longo joined the Days cast in 2011, playing Nicholas “Nikki” Alamain for a total of eight episodes. He also played Nicky Russo on Season 1 of the ABC Family teen gymnast drama Make It or Break It. His longest-running TV role was on the Nick at Nite/TeenNick soap Hollywood Heights, where he played rock star Eddie Duran. His other TV credits include Nashville, CSI: NY and The Catch.
“Cody was a dear friend for over a decade, before he was a client,” Longo’s representative Alex Gittelson said in a statement. “My heart breaks for his beautiful family. He had taken some time away from acting to pursue music and spend more time with his family in Nashville, but we had kept in touch regularly and he was excited to get back into acting this year. Cody was such a loyal, loving and talented person, and he will be greatly missed.”
That’s so sad. I really feel for his wife and kids. May he rest in peace.
rip to him
So many young or younger people are dying.

My first thought
Oh, FFS. We have no idea what happened. Suicide? Accident? Overdose? You anti-vaxxers are just sick in the head!! The man’s dead, let him rest in peace and let his family mourn without your crazy conspiracy theories. SMH…
Yeah, and you nuts dismissed the lab leak. Educate yourself.
“Educate yourself”…the cudgel of conspiracy theorists and kooks alike worldwide.
Only 2 agencies have said they think it was a lab leak. The FBI (with medium confidence) and the Dept. of Energy (why the hell are they even giving an opinion) with “low confidence”
“Low confidence”…why the hell even voice an opinion is you are that unsure?! Meanwhile, the CIA, NSA, CDC and about 5 other agencies have either said they have no idea or that it was NOT a lab leak. In the end, why does it even matter? COVID happened…arguing about how/why is irrelevant at this point.
Meanwhile, Cody’s cause of death has now been attributed to alcohol intoxication…so NOT covid or a covid vaccine.

How pathetic of you crazies to assume it was the vaccine. If you read any science paper or any news website other than fox then you would know the vaccine is safe. It’s incredibly sad how stupid you anti-vaxxers are.
Nice try…. It’s been reported he died after an alcohol relapse. Y’all will go at no lengths with this anti vaxx nonsense
tvline censored reply ?
i thought you believe in free speech
The first amendment that guarantees free speech states that Congress cannot pass a law that would prohibit free speech. Last I checked, TVLine is not Congress and they aren’t passing any laws…
Nope. The First Amendment only protects people from the government restricting their speech unreasonably. There are limits to free speech.
Since websites are privately owned, websites are free to develop their own policies regarding what is or isn’t allowed.
i wondering to what its related ?
hmmm…
“My first thought” Are you an idiot? You have no idea how he died. What if it was Covid, world you then have to come up with an equally stupid theory. Be a human and just feel for the family that just suffered a tragedy

This is not true. Learn to fact check. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-COVID-pandemic-vaccine-UK-Britain-324766934158
I am so shocked and saddened to hear the news of Cody’s passing. I just can’t believe it – he was so young, talented and strong. We had done tons of PR photos together and I got to know him well. He was a great guest at my home in Hollywood. As life goes in Show Business – lives move on at a fast pace and though all and all – you loose close touch with friends. I never in a million years would think that this is true! So sad – and his wife, children and family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Gone way too soon.
Such a tragic loss of a young life. May he rest in peace and condolences to his family.
I think it might be time to turn the comments off on this one. People are ghouls. I was not familiar with Cody, but what a sad thing, 3 young children now without their father, for whatever terrible reason he’s gone.
Yes but a preteen victim who can now hopefully grow up and live her life without fear
RIP Cody Longo
I think this article should mention that he pled guilty to sexually assaulting a 9 year old girl, in 2021. He isn’t some innocent guy whose death is a tragedy.
Can you provide a link to a story for that? What I’ve read is that he had a DUI a few years back and had to attend alcohol counseling. Also, that there was an alleged domestic abuse incident with his wife (likely he was drunk) back in 2019.

Thank you for saying this! Let’s not ignore that he was a predator just because he died.
