As of yet, the cause of death remains unknown. Monday was scheduled as the day for a post-mortem. Ellingson’s father spoke with TMZ and revealed that his son battled a drug addiction problem and passed away at the sober living facility where he was residing.
The speaker additionally mentioned that Ellington was in good health and his family was shocked to learn of his passing. In remembrance, his erstwhile co-star Abigail Breslin stated: “Evan Ellingson was a very talented, funny, and kind person.” In the movie My Sisters Keeper, which I directed, he portrayed my older brother.
According to documents from the San Bernardino coroner’s office, the precise cause of his death is still unknown. Before his untimely death, Evan had been residing in a sober home, according to Michael Ellingson, his father, who spoke with TMZ.
Although he acknowledged his son’s prior struggles with substance abuse, he emphasized that Evan had recently been making progress, which made his untimely death all the more shocking to his loved ones.

A Rising Star: Television and Film
Growing up with his three brothers, Evan Ellingson was raised in La Verne, California. He was an extreme sportsman who experimented with snowboarding, surfing, skating, and even scuba diving and mountain climbing.
The way he entered the world of fame was made possible by his love of sports. After being noticed at a skatepark when he was ten years old, he received an invitation to join the Vans PeeWee team and take part in a Vans Company commercial.
Eventually, his extraordinary talent and charisma earned him the role of lead actor in three short films, each of which had a character created just for him. This was the start of his quickly developing career.
He began starring with Kiefer Sutherland in the TV show 24 in 2007 as Josh Bauer. From 2007 to 2010, he played Kyle Harmon in CSI: Miami. A role in Clint Eastwood’s 2006 film Letters from Iwo Jima was one of Ellingson’s forays into theatre.
When Evan was barely a teenager, he started his acting career. Following that, he appeared in a number of TV series, such as “General Hospital,” “Titus,” “That Was Then,” “Mad TV,” “Bones,” and “24.” With roles in movies like “Walk the Talk,” “Letters from Iwo Jima,” “Rules of the Game,” and “The Gristle,” he showed off his skills on the big screen as well.
In the 2009 motion picture “My Sister’s Keeper,” Evan played the son of Cameron Diaz. One of his last movie appearances was this one.
His final acting credit was for a 2010 ‘CSI: Miami’ episode, in which he portrayed the character Kyle Harmon for eighteen episodes spanning three seasons.
