There have been rumors that Jason Gerhardt would be identified as the Text Message Killer on General Hospital - but it looks like his character will meet an even worse fate.

The actor is leaving the show and here's how it will go down:

Coop is found hanging by Maxie. Yikes. Reportedly, the DNA file with the results from the fingernail scraping is missing and Coop will be suspected. Next thing we know, he's hanging by a noose!

Did Jerry to it to protect his real identity? Did Coop kill himself? Did the TMK do it? Tune in to General Hospital in the near future and find out!
