"Tyler passed away peacefully at his home in Los Angeles on Sunday morning," a statement from his manager was quoted as saying by BBC.

The actor was reportedly diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2018 which later spread to his bones.

"Wanting to help as many people as possible, he bravely shared his story and became a campaigner for those with a prostate to get a... blood test as early as 40-years-old," his manager said.
