The San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department later revealed Ellingson's cause of death as an accidental fentanyl overdose, which came out in the toxicology report. The actor had struggled with substance abuse but has taken the necessary steps to get better.

According to his father, his son has been doing well in recent times until his untimely passing. Ellingson's family is undoubtedly shocked by his death and did not expect it.

Ellingson was only 13 when he joined the entertainment industry. He started his on-screen career with a small role on "General Hospital" and later appeared in "24," "Bones," "Complete Savages," "Titus," "Mad TV," "That Was Then," and "CSIL Miami" where he played Kyle Harmon, the son of the show's star.

He also appeared on the big screen, notably in "My Sister's Keeper" alongside Cameron Diaz, "Letters from Iwo Jima," "Walk the Talk," "Confession," "The Bondage," "Rules of the Game," "Time Changer," and many other. However, his acting career came to a halt in 2010.

In 2009, Ellingson talked about his young fame and revealed he did not have the same childhood as other boys his age. He added:

"I never had more time with them. However, my childhood was a cool one. I was busy doing the things I love. I had no regrets because I found my passion for acting early on."

Nevertheless, Ellingson enjoyed his career, especially his role on "CSI," which he considered one of his big breaks. He liked working with helpful actors and crew members and was a fan of the show. Admittedly, he watched the series "religiously" at home.

Being on the show made his name and face recognizable in public, including at the gas station where he encountered someone asking if he was Horatio's son.

Like Ellingson, many child stars have fallen into the wrong path growing up. Fortunately, some have since turned their lives around, including Disney star Lindsay Lohan, a doting new mom in Dubai.
