Evan Ellingson, a former child actor, has passed away at the age of 35 in his San Bernadino county home, according to TV Line. Ellingson notably starred in the shows CSI: Miami and 24. TMZ reported the news this morning. 

Ellingson’s father, Michael, confirmed the unfortunate news and said his son was found dead at a sober living home. The actor had battled with addiction in the past and was living at the home while in rehabilitation. The cause of death remains unknown, and no foul play has been suspected. 

Before moving away from the Hollywood limelight in 2010, Ellingson had held a recurring role in CSI: Miami, portraying Kyle Harmon, who is the son of Lieutenant Horatio Caine, played by David Caruso (Jade, NYPD Blue), and Julia Winston, portrayed by Elizabeth Berkley (Saved by the Bell, Baywatch.)
