She told local newspaper Tri-City News: “I am not able to hug my parents who lost their only grandchild.

“It’s hard. With his talent and gorgeous looks, Logan had the potential to be a huge star.”

Logan’s cause of death has not been reported, and his devastated mother has now been forced to mourn on her own, with loved ones only able to use social media to get in touch.

He played a young version of Grant Gustin’s Barry Allen in seasons 1 and 2 of The CW’s The Flash, as well as Miles Montgomery on Hallmark Channel’s period drama When Calls the Heart.

Grant mourned the loss of the teen actor with a photo of the two of them, along with fellow Flash costar Jesse L. Martin (Joe West).

He captioned the sweet picture: “Just hearing the devastating news that Logan Williams has passed away suddenly.

“This picture was early in the filming of The Flash pilot episode back in 2014. I was so impressed by not only Logan’s talent but his professionalism on set.

He continued: “My thoughts and prayers will be with him and his family during what is I’m sure an unimaginably difficult time for them.
