Boyce was 20 when he died in his sleep. He played Cruella de Vil’s teenage son, Carlos, in the Descendants, the story of the children of various Disney villains.
Online, the Disney Channel wrote, “Tonight’s premiere of #Descendants3 is dedicated to #CameronBoyce and is a celebration of his talent and the joy he brought to the world. You’ll always be in our hearts, Cameron ❤️.”
