SOAP ACTOR DISCOVERED DEAD IN APARTMENT

Michael Morrison, an actor on the CBS-TV soap opera "As the World Turns," was found dead Thursday in a friend's Manhattan apartment, police said.

Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the city medical examiner, said the cause of death was not immediately known.

Morrison, 33, had played the role of Caleb Snyder on the show since June 1988, CBS publicist Janet Storm said.

Morrison was pronounced dead by a medical emergency team at an apartment where he had been staying with a friend, police said.

Morrison also acted in Joseph Papp's Shakespeare Theatre in Central Park, several Broadway productions and in other television shows, including the CBS television movie "Hobson's Choice," Storm said.
