Gustin himself posted an equally heartbreaking statement to his Instagram.
“Just hearing the devastating news that Logan Williams has passed away suddenly,” Gustin wrote. “I was so impressed by not only Logan’s talent but his professionalism on set. My thoughts and prayers will be with him and his family during what is I’m sure an unimaginably difficult time for them. Please keep Logan and his family in your thoughts and prayers during what has been a strange and trying time for us all. Sending love to everyone.”
In addition to his time on The Flash, Williams also has credits alongside Lori Loughlin in Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart, Supernatural, and Whispers. According to the Tricity News, Williams is survived by his parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
