After an autopsy, it was determined that the Descendants star's cause of death was epilepsy after he expeirenced a seizure in his sleep. Throughout his life, Cameron suffered from epilepsy, but he kept his medical condition private. "He didn’t want his epilepsy to define him," his mother Libby explained. "It didn't define him. He wasn’t scared,” Victor added. “He never complained about anything.”  

Cameron's mother also spoke about her son's love of life. "He was in a place where he was truly happy," she said. "I mean, Cameron was always happy and never a negative thing came out of his mouth, but he was just really finding his groove. He was really getting into the charity stuff, really getting into what he wanted to do with his voice, which is what we always told him to do—use your voice, use it to make positive in the world. And that's what he was starting to do."
