“Twilight” actor Gregory Tyree Boyce has been found dead at age 30, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Boyce, who played Tyler Crowley in the 2008 vampire romance movie, and his girlfriend Natalie Adepoju, 27, were both found dead last week in a Las Vegas condo. Police said they were called to the home on Wednesday afternoon for a report of a “dead body.”
A cause of death has not been announced. Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Larry Hadfield told the newspaper that “the incident was not criminal” but no other details have been disclosed.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that “an unknown white powdery substance” was allegedly found at the scene.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Boyce had a small but notable role in “Twilight” as Tyler, a Forks High School student who nearly hits Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) with his van in the school’s parking lot. Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) rushes in to save her at the last second, stopping the van with his hand thanks to his vampire strength; Boyce also appeared in other scenes, including in the cafeteria alongside Bella and Jessica (Anna Kendrick).

Boyce only had one other acting credit, appearing in a 2018 short film called “Apocalypse.”
Boyce’s survivors include his mother, Lisa Wayne, and his 10-year-old daughter, Alaya. Adepoju is survived by her son, Egypt.
According to Deadline, Wayne said Boyce was getting into the restaurant business before his death.
“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,” Wayne wrote on Facebook.
“Greggy, if I could get my chef on like you, I’d continue this West Wings and set your baby girl up for life. You told me that you didn’t want me to work, you wanted to take care of me. Oh man, this is killing me Hunny… I’m sick without you. I’m torn, I’m lost. I’m in pain. 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… 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.”
