American actor and musician Jackson Odell, who has died aged 20, has been described as a "shining light" and a "talented soul".
The Los Angeles County coroner is investigating after he was found unresponsive at a sober living facility in Tarzana, LA, although they have said there is no sign of foul play.
Odell was best known for his role as Ari Caldwell in TV sitcom The Goldbergs and he made guest appearances in Modern Family, Arrested Development and iCarly.
He also wrote a number of songs for the Forever My Girl film soundtrack, including Wings of an Angel (sung by Lauren Alaina).
