Many people have commented that Kristoff had a difficult time dealing with his son’s passing. Actor and fellow Y&R co-star Eric Braeden, who portrays the charismatic Newman patriarch Victor Newman, commented in a recent interview that although Kristoff was fine at first and managed to put his emotions aside, it eventually seemed to catch up to him.
Of course, this is the personal opinion of a workmate, but this account seems to be corroborated by the facts. In 2017 he brought attention to his issues after threatening to shoot himself, which lead to a 72-hour stay in a psychiatric ward. Just earlier this year reports say that he went and checked himself in of his own volition at the UCLA Medical Center after battling his then latest bout of depression. He walked out only a couple of days before his death.
