Even though the official cause of death hasn’t been released yet, police say they don’t think anything bad happened. Jansen was also an artist, and just two days before he died, he shared a picture of his work with a friend on Instagram. His 11.8 thousand people who liked him on social media liked the art he made.

Jansen has been a guest star on The Walking Dead on AMC and How High 2 on MTV in the past few years. He was also in the movies The Martial Arts Kid and Summer Forever, both released in 2015.
