Tyler Sanders, best known for his Emmy-nominated role as Leo in the Amazon spin-off series Just Add Magic: Mystery City, has died. He was 18.
Sanders, who also starred in the Fox 9-1-1: Lone Star action series, died Thursday (June 16th) at his home in Los Angeles.
His death was confirmed to Deadline by his agent Pedro Tapia, but no further details were provided. His death is reportedly under investigation.

In 2019, Sanders starred in Just Add Magic: Mystery City, a fantasy show about three consecutive siblings who became the new defenders of a magic cookbook.
His portrayal of Leo, one of his siblings, won him an Emmy Award nomination in 2021 for outstanding starring role in a children’s program.
He also appeared in episode 9-1-1: Long Star Season Three, an action show hosted by Rob Lowe about the only surviving firefighter from a Manhattan fire department since 9/11.
“Tyler was a talented actor with a bright future,” Tapia said. “He comes from a wonderful family and we ask you to respect their privacy at this time.
