A source has told the publication they were both found in their Las Vegas condo on Wednesday May 13, "Greg's cousin woke up and noticed that Greg's car was still at the house. He was worried because Greg was to be in LA. His cousin went to check on him and found them."

They added that before his death Gregory was "really focused and handling a lot of business" and while he had moved to Las Vegas to be near his mother, he "would commute to LA for acting jobs and to see his daughter".

Another insider added, "Greg was definitely a person who loved life and [was] super positive... super animated, really witty, he was the life of the party. I will definitely miss him. He was one of my funniest friends in LA and made my experience there really memorable."

The star had taken to Instagram in December while celebrating his 30th birthday saying he didn't believe he'd make it to this point in his life.

He wrote, "At one point I didn't think I would make it to see 30 years old. Over the years like everyone else I have made mistakes along the way, but today is one of those days I only reflect on the great ones. What a time to be alive. Happy Dirty 30 self! Let's make the rest of these years your best!!"

Gregory's mother Lisa Wayne took to Facebook to share her heartbreak over her loss.

He had last seen his mother two days before his death while celebrating Mother's Day.

She wrote, "I'm sick without you. I'm torn, I'm lost. I'm in pain. I'd text you or call you when I was broken or worried about something, and you'd tell me, Ma, I got you, we'll get thru this together. Boy. Why did you leave me?"

Gregory had been dating Natalie for just over a year.

She was 27 years old and described in a GoFundMe page by her family as a "loving daughter, niece, sister, cousin, and friend".

They continued, "Natalie had so much life to live [and] we are saddened that her life was cut short. Natalie leaves behind her one and only baby boy Egypt, her father, two brothers and one sister, and a host of family and friends who love her dearly."

Gregory is survived by his daughter Alaya, 10.
