Nathaniel Marston of the daytime drama “One Life to Live” has died, less than two weeks after a car crash left him in critical condition. He was 40.
Marston’s family said he passed away peacefully in the arms of his mother Elizabeth Jackson on Wednesday.
Nathaniel Marston was involved in a single car collision near Reno, in Nevada, on 30 October that left him with a broken back, neck and various injuries.
In a statement, Ms Jackson said her son would have been paralysed if he had survived the crash.
“My beloved and cherished son, Nathaniel Marston, who was putting up the good fight until last night, was not able to continue due to the traumatic and devastating nature of his injuries,” she said.
“Had Nathaniel lived he would have required a ventilator and would never have been able to utter one more word and would have been sentenced to life as a quadriplegic, a condition that Nate would have never have been able to tolerate.”
Nathaniel Marston was reportedly discovered by an agent he served while working at a bakery in Beverly Hills. He went on to appear alongside Angelina Jolie in the 1996 comedy, Love is All There Is, and a string of other films and commercials.
