Camden Toy dead – Buffy the Vampire Slayer star who played terrifying monsters in iconic 90s show dies aged 68
BUFFY the Vampire Slayer star Camden Toy has died at the age of 68.
The actor’s partner Bethany Henderson said Toy – who played some of the show’s most iconic monsters – had been battling pancreatic cancer for the last two years.
His death was reported by friends on Facebook, who put together a Remembering Camden Toy page.
In a post on December 8, Henderson said: “For many reasons we were very hopeful for, at least, a longer and more fruitful time on planet Earth.
“Even the more recent challenges felt more like a hiccup in progress.
“Unfortunately, it looks like we’ve reached the end of the road with the doctor’s treatment. His condition has declined a lot in the last two months and tremendously in the last several days.”
Henderson said the actor chose not to reveal his cancer diagnosis publicly “for many reasons”.
Toy grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and moved to New York City where he was one of the founding members of the Nada Theatre.
He moved to Los Angeles, where he became a fan favourite on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and played some of the show’s most iconic monsters.
