According to the report, a crew member found him lying on the ground outside of the gold room in Colorado, where Season 3 of the series was shooting.

It's been confirmed that he suffered a heart attack and collapsed. He's survived by his wife and brother.

Following Goins' death, an outpouring of support from fans flooded social media, as his co-stars and loved ones posted messages celebrating the life he led.

I was the first to find him after his heart attack and worked hard to bring him back to our world. God had another plan, and someday I will see him again in Heaven."
