In a heartbreaking account, Anita Joy, the co-worker of “General Hospital” star Johnny Wactor, has revealed the tragic last moments of the beloved actor’s life.
Wactor, 37, was fatally shot while shielding Joy from a group of armed robbers who were attempting to steal his car’s catalytic converter.
Joy, who had been friends with Wactor for 8 years, detailed the horrific incident that took place in the early hours of the morning after the pair finished their bartending shift. She described how they “cautiously approached” the men fiddling with Wactor’s car, only for the situation to escalate rapidly.
“As I heard the shot ring into the night, [Wactor] forcefully tumbled back into my arms,” Joy recalled. “As I grabbed for him, I shouted ‘Hunny you ok?!’ And he only responded, ‘Nope! Shot!’ ”
Joy, devastated, tried in vain to save Wactor’s life, pushing her legs under him and screaming for help as she and the bar’s security guard performed CPR. Tragically, Wactor’s injuries were too severe, and he succumbed to his wounds.
In her heartfelt tribute, Joy described her friend as “beautiful, goofy as hell, full of work ethic and values,” someone who “lit up a room” and “treated everyone with love, respect, and compassion.”
She vowed to see the “awful men” responsible for Wactor’s death brought to justice, while also expressing her belief that he has now become her “best guardian Angel.”
