Actor Johnny Wactor, known for his role in General Hospital, tragically lost his life in a shocking incident after finishing a bartending shift. As he was walking a female colleague to her car, thieves targeted his vehicle, attempting to steal its catalytic converter.

Grant Wactor, Johnnyโ€™s brother, shared with the Daily Mail that Johnny initially thought his truck was being towed. Upon realizing the true nature of the situation, he heroically shielded his coworker by placing her behind him.

โ€œWeโ€™re Southern, born and raised, and we would never let a female walk to their car by herself,โ€ Grant Wactor told the news outlet. โ€œHe came across them and he thought his truck was being towed. So he said something to the guys, like, โ€˜Hey, are you towing?โ€™

โ€œAnd then once he turned around, he saw what was happening and he put his coworker behind him. And thatโ€™s when they shot him.โ€
