Soap star Nathaniel Marston has passed away less than two weeks after a serious car crash. Marston's mother Elizabeth Jackson broke the heartbreaking news on Facebook.

"Nathaniel passed away peacefully as I held him in my arms."

The crash on October 30th in Nevada, left Marston with internal injuries, several broken bones, collapsed lung and pneumonia. "His injuries, which Dr.’s did their best to heal, were not responding to treatment and one after another his bodily functions failed to support his life," Jackson shared.

Jackson was heartbroken over losing her son but knew he was better off. "Had Nathaniel lived he would have required a ventilator and would never have been able to utter one more word and would have been sentenced to life as a quadriplegic. A condition that Nate would have never have been able to tolerate."
