Twilight star Gregory Tyree Boyce and his girlfriend Natalie Adepoju were found dead at home last week in Las Vegas.
Boyce played Tyler Crowley in the 2008 film Twilight, and fans will recall that the character is the student at Forks High School who almost runs over Bella (Kristen Stewart) with his van before Edward (Robert Pattinson) shows up and saves her.
According to TMZ, an unknown white powdery substance was allegedly found at the scene where the bodies of the actor and his partner were discovered. An unofficial cause of death is still pending.
Meanwhile, Gregory’s family has released a statement. It reads:
We as the family of Gregory Boyce are very saddened by our loss. He was a dad, son, grandson, brother, uncle, and friend. He was the light of all our lives and we are very saddened by his death. The Gregory we knew was intimate with the world and a good person. He was a very respectful and responsible man. He always put others first. The family would like to ask for our privacy as we mourn our losses and thank you for your well wishes.”
Twilight was the late movie’s star’s only big-screen credit.
