Stuart Damon, of 'General Hospital,' dies

Brooklyn, New York-bred actor Stuart Damon, who for decades played Dr. Alan Quartermaine on the popular daytime soap “General Hospital,” died at age 84.

The veteran TV star died Saturday around 1 a.m. after struggling with renal failure and other “compounding issues” in recent years, his son Christopher Damon told the Daily News.

“It was very peaceful. I was with him at the time,” Christopher said, adding that other family members also got a chance to say goodbye the night before at the Motion Picture Television Fund’s 20-acre assisted living campus in Woodland Hills, California.
