The December 13, 2024, episode of General Hospital saw Dex Heller's character, played by Evan Hofer, meet with a sudden end after being stabbed while on duty as a law enforcer. Fans have been extremely saddened by this development and have been discussing possible theories as to who could have stabbed him to death. ABC's General Hospital, which premiered in 1963, is set in Port Charles and revolves around the drama surrounding its residents.
Dex, who was a law enforcer associated with the Port Charles Police Department, was shown trying to break up a drunken fight. As soon as he did, his character was stabbed from the back. Once at the hospital, he underwent surgery and was doing well in recovery until an unexpected cardiac arrest killed him.

Dex Heller's death has a close resemblance to Sam McCall's death on General Hospital. Both suffered non-fatal injuries and succumbed due to unexpected cardiac arrests. There could be possible foul play involved, and there are a variety of suspects who could be responsible. There could be three important suspects- Sonny Corinthos, Cyrus Renault, or an unknown serial killer in Port Charles.
Dex Heller's killer suspects explored on General Hospital
Sonny Corinthos, a famous mob lord in Port Charles, is one of the main suspects in this crime. He had a complicated relationship with Dex, who worked for Sonny but also pledged his allegiance to Michael Corinthos, Sonny's estranged son.
Sonny finding out about this betrayal could be a possible motive for murdering Dex. Some fans have suggested how this theory could be less likely as Sonny is Dex's partner Josslyn Jack's stepfather. He might not have treated Dex this brutally owing to his daughter.
Cyrus Renault is another strong suspect. He is also involved in the underworld of Port Charles and has a vengeance towards Sonny. He previously tried to get rid of Sonny's close associates to try to weaken his circle. His recent return to Port Charles raised suspicions as his motive could be to overthrow Sonny. In order to do so, he could have killed Dex to get Sonny at a disadvantage.
A serial killer could be on the loose in Port Charles as well. Quite a few mysterious deaths have occurred on General Hospital recently, including Sam and Dex. The method of killing, which has also been the same poisoning with digitalis, has been seen in more than one victim, which further suggests that this could be the work of a serial killer. The upcoming episodes will further explore these storylines to catch the unknown killer.
