The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office has not announced a cause of death pending an autopsy, but foul play is not suspected.

Odell's presence in a sober-living home indicates that the young actor might have been seeking help in dealing with a substance abuse problem.

Odell launched his acting career at the age of 12, guesting in hit shows such as "iCarly," "Modern Family," "The Practise" and "Arrested Development."
