It is understood that the Perth-born actor passed away at the weekend. The on-screen star left River City in 2018 due to a battle with MDS, otherwise known as Myelodysplastic syndromes - a rare type of blood cancer that causes a person s bone marrow to stop producing healthy blood cells. Gray, who played Pete Galloway in BBC s River City was also seen on-screen as Chancer in 1987 sitcom City Lights. Outwith acting, he was recognised for his work in pantomime, usually co-writing the script often alongside other former City Lights cast members. Gray s former colleagues have since paid him heartfelt tributes to him, with BBC Scotland Director Steve Carson describing him as one of the kindest people to work with in production.
