Mark Priestley’s tragic death

Tributes pour in for the much-loved All Saints actor…

The Australian entertainment industry is in a state of shock following the sudden death of young All Saints star Mark Priestley.

The 32-year-old actor, who won fans for his portrayal of loveable nurse Dan Goldman in the drama, was found dead on the awning of the Sydney Myer store last Wednesday. Emergency services initially thought the actor had suffered a heart attack, but now believe Mark took his own life after suffering from depression.

An insider told The Sydney Morning Herald that the mood among his co-stars was one of “numb shock”.

In a statement issued by the Seven Network, Mark’s colleagues paid tribute to his talent.

“Mark Priestley was a tremendous young person — loved and respected by his fellow All Saints cast members and crew,” the statement read.
