Anthony Geary Died After Surgery Complications: Dark Truth Behind GH Star’s Death!
Anthony Geary, the Emmy-winning actor forever identified with Luke Spencer on General Hospital, died on December 14, 2025, at the age of 78.
The confirmation came from ABC, which issued a statement calling Geary’s portrayal of Luke Spencer a performance that “helped define General Hospital and daytime television.” But it was the circumstances of his death that added a deeper layer of shock.
Geary died in Amsterdam, not after a sudden accident, not from a long-public illness, but from complications following a surgical procedure performed three days earlier. His partner, Claudio Gama, confirmed the details, describing the loss as “sudden” and “shocking” for their family and friends.
Anthony Geary had retired from acting and was living a quiet life abroad with Gama, far from Hollywood and the spotlight that had followed him for decades.
According to multiple reports, he underwent a planned operation in Amsterdam. What was expected to be routine turned tragic within days.
According to the police report, emergency services were called after concerns were raised by close contacts who had been unable to reach the actor for an extended period of time.
Officers arriving at the scene reportedly found no immediate signs of foul play, but due to Geary’s iconic status and the unexpected nature of the incident, a full investigation was launched as protocol.
Sources close to the investigation revealed that detectives conducted extensive interviews, reviewed medical records, and consulted forensic specialists to rule out any external involvement.
“This was treated with the utmost seriousness,” one law-enforcement insider stated. “There was enormous public interest, and we wanted to ensure every detail was thoroughly examined.”
For several days, silence from the family only fueled speculation online, with fans debating possible scenarios across social media platforms.
Some feared a tragic accident, while others questioned whether undisclosed health issues may have played a role. The uncertainty led to a wave of emotional tributes, alongside conspiracy-laden theories that circulated rapidly.
Late last night, the Geary family issued a brief but powerful statement, confirming that Anthony Geary passed away due to complications related to a previously private medical condition.
The family emphasized that the actor had chosen to keep his health struggles out of the public eye, focusing instead on living peacefully away from the spotlight in recent years.
The television industry mourned the loss of Geary, with “Hospital” executive producer Frank Valentini saying he and the “entire ‘General Hospital family’” are “heartbroken” over the news of Geary’s death.
“Tony was a brilliant actor and set the bar that we continue to strive for,” the statement, posted to the official show Instagram account, read. “His legacy, and that of Luke Spencer’s, will live on through the generations of #GH cast members who have followed in his footsteps.”
Genie Francis, whose character Laura Collins was the other half of one of the most popular soap opera couples of all time, mourned her onscreen husband in a tribute shared on social media.
“This morning I woke up and went into my husband’s arms. In my sleep, my life was flashing before me and I was afraid of death.
An hour later, I received a call from Frank Valentini, he told me Tony died. I immediately felt remorse, I hadn’t spoken to him in years, but I felt his life end in my sleep last night, and with it a big part of me, and mine,”
