On Saturday, Musser’s fiancée, Paige Press, confirmed his death to Deadline. He died Friday night in his home in Del Mar, California, Press told TMZ.  

In a series of posts on her social media, Press paid tribute to Musser.

“RIP to the love of my life. I will never stop loving you,” Press wrote alongside a photo of the couple’s 2023 vision board. “My heart is so broken.”
