'One Life to Live' actor Nathaniel Marston dies after crash

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Soap opera actor Nathaniel Marston has died from his injuries nearly two weeks after he crashed a pickup truck and was ejected in rural Nevada, authorities said today. He was 40.

Marston was best-known for his role as Dr. Michael McBain on ABC's "One Life to Live," from 2001 to 2007, and as Eddie Silva in CBS' "As the World Turns." IMDB.com listed his most recent roles in 2011.

The Washoe County Medical Examiner and Coroner's Office said Marston died Wednesday at the Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.

The crash happened the night of Oct. 30 on State Route 447 near the tiny town of Nixon, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.

Marston, who was from nearby Gerlach, was driving a 1985 Ford F-150 truck when it drifted across the lane, overturned multiple times and landed on the dirt shoulder. The actor wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle. He was flown to the hospital with critical injuries.

The cause and manner of Marston's death were pending further investigation, said Rudy Bein from the coroner's office.
