She was found in San Jacinto, California, as reported by TMZ. Police were called to the scene on Tuesday to investigate a death, and Robyn’s identity was confirmed through her fingerprints. The cause of death has not yet been released, and an autopsy will be performed by the Riverside County Coroner on Wednesday.

The entertainment world is reeling from her loss, and tributes have been pouring in from friends, family, and former co-stars. Her daughters, Cassidy and Lacey, along with a close-knit circle of loved ones, are mourning this devastating loss.
A heartfelt statement from the General Hospital team read, “Just like her character, the legendary Bobbie Spencer, she was a bright light and true professional who brought so much positive energy with her to work. We will miss Jackie dearly, but her warm spirit will live on in our cast and crew forever.”
Rick Springfield, the Australian actor and musician who portrayed Dr. Noah Drake on the show, shared his grief with People: “I was incredibly shocked and broken-hearted to hear about Jackie’s passing. She was a true gem, and her loss is felt deeply by all who knew her.”
