'Thor' Actor Isaac Kappy Dies After Jumping off a Bridge
Actor Isaac Kappy, best known for his role as a pet store clerk in 2011 superhero film Thor, killed himself by jumping off a bridge. He was 42. The actor reportedly "forced himself" off a bridge on Monday onto the highway in Arizona. Two teens even attempted to stop the actor from jumping but it was of no avail as he was hit by a passing vehicle.
The news broke after the Arizona Department of Public Safety officials confirmed to USA Today that Kappy died on the scene.
The actor posted a string of ominous messages on his Instagram account before his death, with "Beware the man that has nothing to lose, for he has nothing to protect." In the post, he also opened up about his protracted struggles with alcohol and drug abuse. He went on to apologise to Jesus, President Donald Trump and "the MANY people I have acted abusively toward". Kappy was allegedly referencing to his public feud with actor Seth Green, whom he accused of being a paedophile.
The actor, who originally hailed from New Mexico, starred in various small roles in major films such as Terminator Salvation and TV series Breaking Bad.
