Cameron Boyce died on July 6, 2019, due to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which occurred as a result of a seizure during his sleep. He had been diagnosed with epilepsy and was being treated for it. His death was confirmed by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner, and it was certified as a natural cause of death. His family revealed that he had experienced only a few seizures in his lifetime, all of which occurred in his sleep, making the incident rare yet tragic.
SUDEP is a rare but fatal complication of epilepsy, where an individual dies suddenly without an apparent cause following a seizure, often during sleep. It is most common in people with epilepsy who have seizures during sleep or who have convulsive seizures.
