Per Daily Mail:
Heslin appeared in two episodes of Lioness and acted in various television series including In Their Shoes: A Journey to Homelessness, The Influencers, House Sitting, I Love You… But I Lied, Younger and 7 Deadly Sins.
He also played a role in 2023 rom-com The Holiday Proposal Plan and 2020 TV movie Boy*Friends.
In his post, Dynamo — who has been with Heslin since 2018 and married him less than a year ago in November 2023 — shared a carousel of photos and penned a tearjerking eulogy gushing about his beloved husband.
The grieving spouse noted that Heslin died three weeks from his 31st birthday and four months from their first wedding anniversary.
Considering Heslin reportedly was ‘in perfect health,’ the elephant in the room is if he received the experimental COVID-19 shot.
“Baby got vaxxed,” Heslin wrote in April 2021.

“Rest in peace, Michael. When I felt you take your last breath, my heart shattered into a million pieces. If I had the power to trade places with you, I would do it in an instant. But I will take it one day at a time like you always told me to, and live every day in your honor,” Scotty Dynamo wrote.
