Bodies of actor, friend found
Powder nearby, LV police report
Police found white powder and a straw near the bodies of “Twilight” actor Gregory Tyree Boyce and his girlfriend after they were found dead last week in a Las Vegas apartment, a police report states.
Witnesses also told police that the couple were known to use “harder drugs” such as cocaine and methamphetamine, according to a Las Vegas police report, which was obtained Tuesday by the Review-journal.
Police were called about 2:50 p.m. Wednesday to a two-bedroom apartment on the 3300 block of Casey Drive to investigate a report of two bodies, police wrote. The caller said he last saw Boyce and his girlfriend, Natalie Adepoju, about midnight May 11 at the residence. The caller said he noticed the couple’s bedroom door was closed, which wasn’t unusual.
The caller was gone all the next day and returned to the home early Wednesday. At 2 p.m., he noticed the door to the bedroom was still closed, then noticed Boyce’s car in the parking lot.
“(He) stated he then went and began knocking on the door and eventually forced his way into the room where he found them both deceased and beyond help,” police wrote.
Police said it appeared that Boyce and Adepoju had been dead for some time.
“Their bedroom was not disturbed and looked to be in normal fashion,” police wrote. “There was a plate with a unk. (unknown) white powder substance as well as a straw and a plastic card that was sitting on the dresser. There was no obvious signs of trauma to either subject.”
The man who discovered the bodies and another witness, identified as a relative of Boyce, said “both subjects were known to do harder drugs,” the report states.
The Clark County coroner’s office as of Tuesday afternoon had not determined the pair’s cause and manner of death.
Boyce, who portrayed Tyler Crowley in the 2008 movie “Twilight,” leaves behind a 10-year-old daughter, Alaya.
Attempts to reach relatives or friends of the couple were not successful.
