The Disney Channel actor's death was confirmed to ABC News by his family Saturday night.

Although an official autopsy is yet to be carried out, his family reportedly believe the cause of his death was an epileptic seizure that he suffered earlier in the day.

"It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron," said a family spokesperson.

"He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated.

"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.

"We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother."
