Nick Santino

Nick Santino, known for his roles in TV soaps like “All My Children” and “The Guiding Light”, overdosed on pills for letting his dog die, Nollywoodgossip has learned.

The 47-year-old actor killed himself just hours after he was forced to put his dog to sleep under pressure from his Manhattan condo.

We learned that the building where the actor lived had a ban on pit-bulls, but Nick sneaked in his dog and this didn’t sit well with some of the neighbors.

Neighbors complained that the dog was loud and aggressive.

So on Tuesday, the actor had Rocco (the dog) put to sleep.

Later that day Santino left a suicide note that read, “Today I betrayed my best friend and put down my best friend … Rocco trusted me and I failed him. He didn’t deserve this.”

And early, the next morning, he killed himself.
