Patrick Muldoon's girlfriend found him unconscious in their home and called 911, according to multiple reports. The exact time of Muldoon's death and the specific location within Beverly Hills have not been confirmed.
Muldoon had no known health conditions and was at the peak of his fitness, according to major media reports. He and his girlfriend, identified by major media as producer Miriam Rothbart, had enjoyed a night out at the new Los Angeles County Museum of Art hours before his death. Whether there were any prior symptoms or warnings remains unknown, and no official autopsy report has been released confirming the cause of death.
I've known Patrick Muldoon since I was 19 years old. We call each other 'schweet babe' because we had nicknames on Starship Troopers for everyone.
The tragedy extended to Muldoon's family, with his elderly father suffering a fractured shoulder after falling over as he ran into the home to see his son, according to major media reports. The current condition of Patrick Muldoon's father after his fall has not been disclosed.
Muldoon's death has deeply affected his former partner, actress Denise Richards. Richards previously dated Patrick Muldoon for three years after meeting on the set of Starship Troopers in 1997, and the pair remained close friends after their split in 2000, according to major media reports. Richards is believed to be inconsolable following Patrick Muldoon's death, according to major media reports.
I did not speak to Pat when I was married to Charlie. And it was hard, because I didn't want to lose him as a friend. But toward the end of the marriage, I talked to him all the time about him.
Public tributes have emerged on social media, with Lola Sheen, Denise Richards's daughter, sharing a tribute to Patrick Muldoon on Instagram. Sheen posted an emotional message expressing grief over his loss and recalling fond memories.
I thought you were the one that was supposed be in our lives forever.
When I think of my childhood I think of you Pat, and it's gonna be so weird to go on without you in our lives.
You were such a huge part of our family and life will never feel the same, but that's just because of how much you impacted us. Thank you for showing everyone around you how to be alive.
I'll never forget when we were on that trip with my mom and you wouldn't stop singing that Lola song to me, and made me laugh so hard. And you know that song will always make me think of you.
I will really miss hearing my mom laugh on the phone with you. Your voice always brightened my day and I'm gonna miss hearing it but I know my mom will more, but we will never stop talking about you.
Thank you for being the best friend to her. Thank you for being the one to make her laugh and forget about all she's going through.
I love my girl. 2 years together today from the night this picture was taken where I got you drunk enough to be my girlfriend. Thank you my heart.
