‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ Star Passes Away at 42, Cause of Death and Shocking Health History Revealed

Former child actor Floyd Roger Myers Jr., who appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, tragically passed away on Wednesday, October 29, at 42.

Myers’ mom, Renee Trice, told TMZ that her son died early Wednesday morning in his Maryland home from a heart attack.

Shockingly, Trice — who said she had just spoken with Myers Tuesday night — told the outlet her son had suffered three other heart attacks over the last three years of his life.

According to Medical News Today, “Statistics from the American Heart Association (AHA)Trusted Source state the average age of a person at the time of their first heart attack in the United States is 65.5 years for males.”

Per his IMDb page, Myers played a younger version of Will Smith’s eponymous character in an episode of the beloved 1990s sitcom.

In 1992, Myers portrayed a young version of singer Marlon Jackson in the television miniseries The Jacksons: An American Dream. He was also in an episode of the WB drama Young Americans in 2000.

However, Myers shifted career paths in his adulthood. He was the owner and CEO of an air duct and dryer vent cleaning service in Maryland called Dr. Duct, which he started in 2008, according to the company’s website.
