Patrick Muldoon’s sister shares actor’s final video before shocking death
Patrick Muldoon recorded a video of himself just one day prior to his tragic death at the age of 57.
“This was the last video my brother sent to our constant family group chat — from Sat night at LACMA opening,” the actor’s sister, Shana Muldoon Zappa, captioned the clip, which she shared via Instagram on Wednesday.
In the footage, the “Melrose Place” star filmed himself giving a mini tour of the art gallery, panning the camera over to paintings like the Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s Vision of Christ and God the Father at La Storta by Domenico Zampieri.
“It’s a beautiful painting,” Muldoon said to the camera, before doing the chant from his Loyola High School football days.

“I think that’s what he was thinking in the picture, actually,” Muldoon teased.
Zappa noted in her caption that her brother “loved St. Ignatius because he was kind of the cool guy, good time guy who was still able to become a saint.”
“As always, he jokes… and yet profoundly brings all things into one moment- the joke-ster, the artist, the football player, and the intensely spiritually connected, Jesuit educated, incredible being that is Patrick Muldoon,” the writer continued about his Loyola chant.
Zappa went on to call Muldoon her “best friend.”
“The best brother / son/ uncle/ anyone could ever possibly ask for. I will have so much more to share as I know he loves this earthly realm and all he created within it,” she gushed.
Zappa assured her followers that she will “eventually have details on when and where” they will celebrate the late “Days of Our Lives” alum.
For now, the designer said she and her family “are still processing” his death.
“I continue to speak of him in present tense. Because his spirit is all around me. He just changed forms💫🙏🏼💚,” Zappa concluded.
Muldoon’s video comes a month after he was photographed in public for the last time at the 53rd annual Saturn Awards on March 8.
The producer looked sharp as he posed for pictures in a navy blue suit at the Hilton Universal City in Los Angeles.
Muldoon died on April 19 following a sudden heart attack.
Zappa told TMZ that the singer had spent that Sunday morning with his partner, Miriam Rothbart, at their Beverly Hills, California, home before taking a shower.
After a while, Rothbart went to check on Muldoon and found him unconscious on the bathroom floor.
Paramedics were called and the ’90s icon was pronounced dead on the scene.
After news of his death broke, Zappa took to Instagram to post a heartbreaking tribute to her only sibling.
“Those that knew my brother knew he IS the brightest light in every room, in any moment, on any day. I believe he is continuing to be so in spirit,” she wrote alongside a video of Muldoon playing the guitar and singing with his family.
“I choose to remember him like this from just Easter Sunday. In his most authentic self- singing, bringing joy and magic, and surrounded with those he loved. Bobo I hope you feel how many people love you,” Zappa added, affectionately calling Muldoon by his nickname.
Tributes continued to pour in over the next few days, including messages from his ex-girlfriend and close friend Denise Richards, and his longtime pal Tori Spelling.
“Everything you did was infectious. Your laugh, your kindness, your wit, your strength, your loyalty, your passion, and your zest for life,” Richards penned in part. “We’ve been each other’s rock. Our memories together are endless.”
For her part, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum shared: “He was a huge part of my formative 20’s. We went on to be good friends! Still laughing & always caring. Decades later I found him to be such a true friend/hype man when I was going thru [sic] my divorce.”
Spelling noted: “He would call and check on me and send me the worst jokes to make me laugh.”
