It will take several weeks for the toxicology report to come back.

According to a report released by the Riverside County Coroner, she died at four in the morning in an open field behind a business.

Born on May 26, 1959, in Gladewater, Texas, Robyn started acting in 1981 in the movie Diva.

She appeared on the 1983 show Whiz Kids, The Facts of Life in 1984, and several other shows before her big break.

The soap opera actress appeared in 145 episodes of General Hospital between 1984 and 1990, according to IMDB.

She last appeared in Voices from the High School in 2002 where she played a psychologist.

Her younger sister is Crystal Bernard, 62, who is also an actress.

Crystal is best known for her roles as Helen Chappel-Hackett on the sitcom Wings, Amy on It's a Living, and K.C. Cunningham on Happy Days. 

General Hospital fans on social media mourned the death of the beloved star.

ANOTHER GH LOSS

Last May, General Hospital fans grieved the loss of legendary actress Jacklyn Zeman.

The legendary soap opera star was 70 when she died and has been remembered as an "icon" by devastated fans and co-stars alike.

Jacklyn sadly passed away on May 10, 2023, following a battle with cancer, her family confirmed.

Her death was announced by the executive producer of General Hospital, Frank Valentini, on Twitter.

The poignant post read: "I am heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Jackie Zeman."

"Just like her character, the legendary Bobbie Spencer, she was a bright light and true professional that brought so much positive energy with her to work."

"Jackie will be greatly missed, but her positive spirit will always live on with our cast and crew.

"We send our heartfelt sympathy to her loved ones, friends, and family, especially her daughters Cassidy and Lacey. #GH."

The show and her co-stars have also paid tribute to the late actress.

Australian actor and musician Rick Springfield, who played Dr. Noah Drake, told People he is "incredibly stunned and broken-hearted to hear of Jackie's passing".
