Cameron Boyce remembered by his Descendants co-stars on the sixth anniversary of his tragic death
Late actor Cameron Boyce was remembered by three of his Descendants co-stars on the sixth anniversary of his tragic passing.
Boyce was just 20 years of age when he suffered a fatal epileptic seizure in his sleep on July 6, 2019.
While his epilepsy diagnosis was not previously made public, his family confirmed he was previously diagnosed just days after his death.
Boyce was best known for playing Carlos – son of 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella de Vil in the Descendants movies and TV shorts that all aired on Disney Channel.
Three of his co-stars – Sofia Carson (Evie), Booboo Stewart (Jay) and Sarah Jeffery (Audrey) – all took to Instagram on Sunday to pay tribute to their beloved co-star.
Carson shared an undated black and white throwback snap of her, Boyce and fellow Descendants co-star Dove Cameron (Mal).
