(CNN) — Cody Longo, an actor best known for his roles in “Hollywood Heights” and “Days of Our Lives,” was found dead Wednesday at his home in Austin, Texas, his representative Alex Gittelson told CNN.
He was 34 years old.
“Cody was our whole world,” his wife, Stephanie Longo, said in a statement provided by Gittelson. “The children and I are heartbroken and beyond devastated. He was the best father. We will always and forever miss and love you.”
The actor was “a dear friend for many years” before he became a client, Gittelson said. Longo had taken time off acting to pursue his music career and spend more time with his family, but he was excited to get back into acting this year, Gittelson said.
“Cody was such a loyal, loving and talented person and he will be sorely missed,” Gittelson said.
