No cause of deaths for Boyce and Adepoju has been made public. Their deaths have been confirmed by the Las Vegas Medical Examiner’s office.
Boyce, who is best known for his role as Tyler Crowley in the teen cult film Twilight, had moved to Las Vegas to help his mother but was commuting back and forth to LA for acting jobs and to see his daughter.
The actor had just celebrated his 30th birthday in December. In an Instagram post he wrote, “At one point I didn’t think I would make it to see 30 years old. 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!!”
Boyce had been reportedly dating Adepoju for a little over a year.

Boyce is survived by his 10-year-old daughter Alaya.
