Neil from Young And The Restless tried to commit suicide just weeks before the anniversary of his son's suicide and police put him in a mental hospital

Actor Kristoff St. John, who has starred as Neil Winters on Young and the Restless since 1991, has been placed in a mental hospital after he put a gun to his head and threatened to kill himself just weeks before the anniversary of his son's suicide.

He allegedly sent an ex-lover photos of himself holding a gun to his head and police got involved after the ex called them on Thursday evening to report the incident. Police allegedly confiscated two guns from St John and he has been hospitalized for a three-day psychiatric evaluation, sources tell TMZ.
A representative for boxer Mia St John, the 51-year-old actor's ex-wife, told TMZ that she was not the ex to whom he sent the photos.

Kristoff's son with Mia, Julian St John, died by suicide on November 23, 2014. Julian was 24 years old. He had been diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 18, and he had also battled severe depression and drug addiction as a teenager. His mother, Mia, suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder

Sources close to Kristoff say the anniversary of his son Julian’s suicide is fast approaching and that had him very, very upset. In a May 2015 interview, shortly after losing his son, Kristoff broke down in tears and told ETOnline that losing a child the way he did was "every parent's nightmare".

Kristoff has two other kids; a girl named Paris who he had with Mia and another named Lola who he had with his second wife, Allana Nadal.
