Fresh information has surfaced about the death of Twilight Star, Gregory Tyree Boyce and his Nigerian girlfriend, Natalie Adepoju.
The 30-year-old actor and his 27-year-old partner were found dead in their Las Vegas apartment by their roommate, Louis Ledbetter, on May 13.
In a recent statement, Las Vegas coroner shed light on the circumstances surrounding his death.
Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg said the pair died from the effects of cocaine and fentanyl intoxication and their deaths were accidental.
Investigators had found an unknown white powder substance on a nightstand, in addition to a straw and a plastic card next to their bodies.
Officers said the couple – who were found lying naked – were ‘beyond help’ by the time the tragic discovery was made.
Each body showed signs of rigor mortis and blood pooling, indicating they’d been deceased for some time.
About Boyce
“Greg’s cousin woke up and noticed that Greg’s car was still at the house,” E! News quoted a source saying.
“He was worried because Greg was to be in LA. His cousin went to check on him and found them. It is thought he moved to Las Vegas to be close to his family and in recent weeks had been.”
Boyce was known for his role as Tyler Crowley in the first Twilight franchise movie. His final post on the social media site was a picture of himself and his girlfriend sharing a kiss on the beach. They had been dating for around a year.
Natalie Adepoju has a young son named Egypt, while Gregory Tyree Boyce is survived by his 10-year-old daughter, Alaya.
Chris Wayne, Boyce‘s brother described him as an ‘awesome person’.
In a tribute on Facebook, he wrote: ‘You were my baby. Worried about you all the time.
‘I was always there for the rescue. I wish you were still here bro. The world lost an awesome person.’
In an Instagram post from December when Boyce celebrated his 30th birthday, the actor wrote that he didn’t think he’d ever reach the milestone age.
‘At one point I didn’t think I would make it to see 30 years old,’ he wrote.
