Heartland Actor Robert Cormier Dies at Age 33

Robert Cormier, who played Finn Cotter on the long-running family drama series Heartland, has died. He was 33.

The actor passed away on Friday, according to his obituary. A cause of death was not provided in the obituary, but Cormier's sister Stephanie told The Hollywood Reporter that he died in a hospital in Etobicoke, Ontario, due to injuries sustained in a fall.

In his obituary, Comier was remembered as "an athlete, an actor, and a great brother."

"He had a passion for helping others and was always looking to achieve more. He enjoyed movie nights with his family, and looked up greatly to his father," the obituary read. "He impacted many people throughout his life whether it was family, teammates and friends."

The obituary continues, "Rob's memory will live on through his passion for art and film; as well as his three sisters who meant the world to him."

Following the news, UPtv — which airs Heartland — paid tribute to the late actor on Instagram.

"Robert Cormier, aka Heartland's Finn, was an amazing talent, gone too soon," the network wrote alongside a photo of the actor with his co-star Amber Mitchell.

"We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing. Our sincere condolences go out to his friends, family, and co-workers. 🕊️" they added.

The show's official Instagram account also remembered Comier on social media.

"We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Robert Cormier. He was a beloved member of the Heartland cast the last two seasons," the show wrote in their statement on Instagram. "On behalf of the Heartland cast and crew, our thoughts are with him and his family, who have asked for privacy during this difficult time."

Comier appeared on Heartland in the show's 15th season, playing a new love interest for Amy (Mitchell). He is expected to be featured on the 16th season, which is set to premiere on Oct. 2.

Prior to Heartland, Comier played Kit Jenning on the Netflix series Slasher. He also had guest appearances on Designated Survivor, Ransom and American Gods, among other television roles, according to his IMDb page.

His film credits included Firecrackers, Pyrenees, as well as his upcoming projects, The Intersection, Transmission: Vol. 1 and a short called The Antagonist.

He was bi-leaning gay in Slasher. V good-looking guy.

Was he a gay?

I fell in lust with him when he was on Slasher. Why oh why do hot pieces of ass get taken so young, when big balls of gas like Dump live seemingly forever?

I kind of wondered if the fall was deliberate. As in, suicide.

Jesus God in Heaven, why'd you have to kill such hot snatch?

‘Heartland’ Actor Robert Cormier's Family Says His Death Resulted From ‘Tragic Accident’

Robert Cormier, an actor known for appearances on "Heartland," "Designated Survivor" and "American Gods," died at age 33 after a "tragic accident," his family said.

The office of Norbert Abrams, Cormier’s talent agent, told NBC News that Cormier's sister said the actor died on Sept. 23 of injuries sustained in a fall.

"Robbie was loved by many and his unexpected death has left us devastated," his family said in a statement to NBC News. "While we are broken-hearted, we take comfort in the overwhelming love and support shown to our family by Robbie's friends, colleagues and fans."

Cormier’s family thanked the critical care team at an unnamed Toronto hospital for the “compassionate care they provided Robbie and the kindness they showed our family.”

Amber Marshall, one of Cormier's co-stars on "Heartland," said in an Instagram post that Cormier was "truly a joy to be around."

"He had an infectious smile, and such a big heart," she said. "He was especially kind and gentle with the animals on set, which goes a long way in my books."

Cormier played Finn Cotter on "Heartland." The show mourned the actor's death in a statement posted on Instagram.

"He was a beloved member of the Heartland cast the last two seasons," the show said. "On behalf of the Heartland cast and crew, our thoughts are with him and his family, who have asked for privacy during this difficult time."

UPtv, a network that airs "Heartland," also paid tribute to Cormier. "Robert Cormier, aka Heartland’s Finn, was an amazing talent, gone too soon," UPtv wrote in the caption of an Instagram post. "We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing. Our sincere condolences go out to his friends, family, and co-workers."

Cormier is survived by his two parents, three sisters, a grandmother and multiple aunts, uncles and cousins, according to his obituary.

“Robert was an athlete, an actor, and a great brother,” his obituary states. “He had a passion for helping others and was always looking to achieve more. He enjoyed movie nights with his family, and looked up greatly to his father.

“He impacted many people throughout his life whether it was family, teammates and friends. Rob’s memory will live on through his passion for art and film; as well as his three sisters who meant the world to him,” the obituary continued.

Where does it say he was rock-climbing? Not arguing, I skimmed over the article and did not see it.

The article gave no details about the nature of the fall.
