The tragic news has just come in that Logan Williams has passed away.
He was just sixteen-years-old.His short life has certainly been a full one.
He was just 10-years-old at his first audition.
Logan landed his very first audition playing the part of Jack Spehn in the Hallmark movie Color of Rain.But he was best known for The Flash.
The Flash is all about Barry Allen...
But Logan starred in much more...
Logan also attended private school, making it easier to study alongside acting...
He was actually an award-winning actor...
He was destined for huge things...
But things weren't meant to be...

Logan first began using marijuana to cope with the stress of auditioning for countless roles.He quickly moved on to harder drugs...
She tried to help him...
She remortgaged their home.
And nobody knew what he was going through.

Outside of his family, nobody knew the addiction Logan was battling - as they tried to keep it quiet so it didn't effect his career.His struggle cost him his life.
Even though many fans have been expressing their outrages...
It is cruel and completely unjust to pin Logan's death on his mom, who will be going through the hardest time of her life right now.Sadly, many child actors fall into this downward spiral...
@atxleb @USATODAY Not hard in Vancouver. Especially for someone that would have probably been "famous" in his circl… https://t.co/w9YppNw5cM— Canadagraphs (@Canadagraphs)1589693801.0

And heartbreakingly, he told her he was going to get clean. She explained, "He said to me, ‘Mom, I’m gonna get clean. I’m going to get better. And I want my new life to start.’ I just know the last thing we said to each other was, 'I love you'."
