The "General Hospital" family has lost one of their own. 

Robyn Bernard—who played Terry Brock on the soap opera in the '80s—was discovered dead in an open field behind a business in San Jacinto, Calif., March 12, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office. She was 64 years old.

The sheriff's office told E! News deputies were dispatched to the scene at around 3:57 a.m. that day for a death investigation. Upon arrival, the office continued, they found Robyn's body and pronounced her deceased.

While a specific cause of death has yet to be revealed, the sheriff's office noted there was no evidence of foul play and that the investigation is ongoing.

Bernard appeared on "General Hospital" from 1984 to 1990 before going on to act in French films like "Kings for a Day" and the Oscar-nominated "Betty Blue."

Over the years, Bernard also landed roles in movies and shows like "Roselyne and the Lions," "Maigret," "Tour of Duty," "The Facts of Life," "Whiz Kids," "Simon & Simon" and "Diva." Her most recent credit was for the 2002 drama "Voices From the High School."

Born in Texas in 1959, she was the sister of Scarlett Bernard and "Wings" star Crystal Bernard, the latter of whom previously reflected on working in entertainment along with her siblings.

"I have a younger sister that's just getting started, and then I have an older sister that was on "General Hospital" for several years," Crystal Bernard, 62, said on a 1992 episode of "Live with Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford." "She played Terry Brock. And now, she's pursuing her music career and country music. She's doing that full-time."
