According to press reports, Stepin was found dead in one of the St. Petersburg hostels, located on the embankment of the Fontanka River. The causes of death of the 40-year-old actor are being established. There were no signs of a violent death on his body. According to some publications, a few days before his death, Alexander complained to his colleagues about heart problems and constant headaches.

“A very talented person, absolutely friendly, not conflicted, absolutely open to people,” said Viktor Minkov, head of the Shelter Komedianta theater, who had previously worked with Stepin. - He is not a St. Petersburg artist, he is a visitor, he came to St. Petersburg and, in general, took some of his acting niche. He is very young. I just don't remember conflicts with him. I can only say kind words about him."

As the media remind, Stepin graduated from the Yaroslavl Theater Institute, and began acting in films and television in 1998. The actor played in such popular TV series as Streets of Broken Lanterns, Opera: Chronicles of the Murder Department, Cop Wars, Destructive Force; was engaged in TV projects "Favorite", "Secret City" and "Juncker". He played in the historical epic “Alexander. Battle of the Neva "(Vice-Landmaster of the Teutonic Order), worked in the German film" Bunker ". He also voiced characters in the animated films Cars 2, Meet Dave and The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Recently he performed on the stages of the St. Petersburg theaters "Baltic House" and "Shelter of the Comedian".
