“Twilight” actor, Gregory Tyree Boyce and his Nigerian girlfriend, Natalie Adepoju have been discovered dead.
Boyce, 30, best known for playing Tyler Crowley in 2008’s “Twilight” and 27-year-old Adepoju were found and pronounced dead in a Las Vegas residence on May 13 around 5 p.m.
The cause of the couple’s death is yet to be revealed. According to the E! News, it was the actor’s cousin who found the bodies of Boyce and girlfriend Adepoju.
A source had told the publications: “Greg’s cousin woke up and noticed that Greg’s car was still at the house. He was worried because Greg was to be in LA. His cousin went to check on him and found them,”
Boyce’s mother, Lisa Wayne paid tribute to her son in a post on social media, writing:
“My baby boy, Greg Boyce was the best chef….oh man. He was in the process of starting a wing business, West Wings. He created the flavors to his perfection and named them after west coast rappers. Snoop Dog, Kendrick Lamar, Roddy Ricch, The Game, etc. He had flavors like, Tequila Lime Agave…those were my favorite. A Hennessy Maple flavor, oh man, just so damn good. I can say that my son was my favorite chef. He was on to something great and that was his passion…”
Natalie Adepoju’s family launched a GoFundMe account with a $15,000 goal. The family has decided to not reveal the cause of the deaths and asked their wishes to be respected.
Boyce is survived by his mother and his 10-year-old daughter, Alaya.
