'Days of Our Lives' star Peggy McCay dies at 90 from natural causes

McCay's death comes just days after the death of her fellow Days of Our Lives co-star, Frank Parker, who was also her longtime leading man on the show.

Emmy-winning actress Peggy McCay - the face behind the iconic Caroline Brady on the popular soap, 'Days of Our Lives' - passed away on Sunday from natural causes. McCay - who played the role of Caroline Brady for more than three decades - was 90 at the time of her death.  

McCay’s longtime co-star, Deidre Hall, confirmed the news of her death. Taking to Facebook, on Tuesday, Hall wrote: “Our dearest Peggy McCay has left us. She was a friend, an activist, and a real scrapper! I remember meeting her at the bedside of a dear, very ill friend. I backed her up as she ferociously took on doctors and nurses to make sure he had the very best care. She fought that hard for all her causes. Passionate and tireless. And how she loved being Caroline!”
