A spokesperson for Cameron's family confirmed the heartbreaking news with the message:

"The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him."

According to the family’s spokesperson, Cameron suffered a seizure in his sleep and died from it; the seizure was reportedly brought about by a medical condition he was being treated for.

Cameron achieved fame at the young age of nine when he was featured in “Mirrors”, his popularity grew when he began to play the role of “Luke Ross” on the Walt Disney TV show "Jessie,” and it multiplied when he played the role of "Carlos de Vil” in “Descendants”.

The role of “Luke Ross” was initially intended to be a boy named Hiro who was adopted from Korea; however, the directors were dazzled with Cameron’s performance during the audition, after which they decided to recreate the role specifically for him.

A short while after news of Cameron’s death went public, famous American actor Adam Sandler, who once co-starred with him, took to Twitter to share his grief:

"Too young. Too sweet. Too funny. Just the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around. Loved that kid.”

His bond with Adam Sandler came into existence when he played the role of “Keithie Feder,” the son of a character named “Lenny” played by Adam Sandler in the “Grown Ups” movie franchise.
