Twilight star Gregory Tyree Boyce has died. He was 30.
The actor and his girlfriend Natalie Adepoju were both found dead in Las Vegas, Nevada, last Wednesday (May 13), a Clark County Medical Examiner spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
Boyce, who was best known for his portrayal as Tyler Crowley in Twilight, is survived by his 10-year-old daughter Alaya. Adepoju, a native of Los Angeles, is survived by her son Egypt.
Boyce’s mother, Lisa Wayne, has broken her silence since the tragedy made headlines. According to Wayne, the late couple had been working “as a team” on the business plan for Boyce’s passion project, a restaurant called West Wings, before their deaths.
"I'm sick without you. I'm torn, I'm lost. I'm in pain," Boyce’s mother wrote on Facebook. "I'd text you or call you when I was broken or worried about something, and you'd tell me, Ma, I got you, we'll get thru this together. Boy. Why did you leave me.”
"With my Mommy and Channing-Celeste Wayne, I was able to tell them goodbye and hug them for the last time,” she continued. “With you, the last time I saw you on Monday, May 11, 2020, I went to your house to eat leftovers from Mother's day, we watched a Dave Chappelle show and you walked me to my car, hugged me, kissed me on my cheek and told me that you love me and to call you when I got home. That was it. Never another hug, kiss or to hear those words, I love you again. I'm broken. I love you Greggy, my Hunny."
Eerily and heartbreakingly, Boyce once expressed how he didn’t believe he’d live past 29. "At one point I didn't think I would make it to see 30 years old,” he wrote on Instagram in December. “Over the years like everyone else I have made mistakes along the way, but today is one of those days I only reflect on the great ones. What a time to be alive. Happy Dirty 30 self! Let's make the rest of these years your best.”
