Heartland is a very popular show that takes place in Alberta, Canada. The show chronicles the complicated lives of a cross-generational family moving through the ups and downs of life. Tragically, thirty-three-year-old actor Robert Cormier, who played Finn on season fifteen of Heartland, passed away on Friday, September 23, 2022. According to a report in the Hollywood Reporter, Robert’s sister Stephanie stated that Robert died from injuries he sustained in a fall and died while under the care of world-class doctors in a hospital in Ontario, Canada.
Although Cormier’s official cause of death has not been made public, it appears that the fall did catastrophic damage to his body. The actor was also an athlete and a great brother, according to his beloved sister.
His obituary states, “Robert was an athlete, an actor, and a great brother. He had a passion for helping others and was always looking to achieve more. He enjoyed movie nights with his family and looked up greatly to his father.”
After the actor tragically lost his life back in September, Heartland posted a memorial to Cormier on their social media channel that included an image of the actor in his role of Finn along with a caption that stated, “Robert Cormier, aka Heartland’s Finn, was an amazing talent, gone too soon. We are deeply saddened to learn of his passing. Our sincere condolences go out to his friends, family, and coworkers.”
