In a statement obtained by Variety, Perdomo’s publicist confirmed the news of his tragic death.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely passing as a result of a motorcycle accident,” the statement read. “Authorities have advised that no other individuals were involved. His passion for the arts and insatiable appetite for life was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth will carry on in those who he loved dearest. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.”
The producers behind Gen V also released a statement, writing that they couldn’t “wrap [their] heads around” Perdomo’s death.
“For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person,” the producers wrote in a joint statement. “Even writing about him in the past tense doesn’t make sense.
