Statement Announcing Death of Actor Darryl Armstrong
Released Early Sunday Morning
Distribution Source : Market Wire

Date : Sunday - January 30, 2005


TORONTO -- (Market Wire - Jan 30, 2005) -- It is with great sadness
that we report that early Saturday morning, Halifax born, Toronto-based
actor Darryl Armstrong (23) allegedly committed suicide by jumping off
a bridge on Mount Pleasant Rd. in Toronto. He was pronounced dead on
arrival. Peel Regional Police continues its investigation.

It is with great sorrow that we extend our condolences and our
deep-felt sympathy to his entire family. He will be missed not only by
his friends and co-workers but also by the cast and crew of Showcase's
"Queer as Folk" and "Degrassi Junior High."

Mr. Armstrong believed that acting was a noble calling. His belief in
the ability to bring humour and emotion across the small screen and his
passion for his job and the people around him was unwavering.

He was one of the brightest emerging stars on television and we will
all miss him dearly.

Why are the Peel Regional Police investigating a Toronto suicide? Peel
is fifteen miles to the west.

What makes you think the suicide took place in Toronto? The dateline?
That's just where the story was filed from.

Oh, yeah, good point. I misread that bit. Maybe the Peel police are
interviewing his neighbors, friends, etc.
