Floyd Roger Myers Jr., the former child actor who once played young Will Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, died suddenly on 29 October 2025 at his home in Maryland. He was 42. His mother, Renee Trice, confirmed that her son suffered a fatal heart attack early that morning after years of heart problems and three earlier cardiac incidents. She shared that she had spoken to him only hours before his death, unaware it would be their final conversation.
'Myers passed away in the wee hours of Wednesday morning from a heart attack at his home in Maryland', Trice said.
