TMZ reported on Sunday, March 15, that the actor was driving his Toyota Camry around 3 a.m. on Monday morning when he lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a pole. Brino was the only occupant in the vehicle. He was pronounced dead earlier this week, but Brino’s identity was only recently confirmed.

Brino — who was part of a quadruplet — appeared on 7th Heaven as twins David and Sam Camden alongside his siblings on a rotating basis starting as infants from 1999 to 2007. The child star appeared in a total of 138 episodes between season 3 and season 11 of the show.

One of Brino’s friends paid tribute to the late star in a video where he called his pal a “beautiful soul.”

According to TMZ, Brino’s aunt, Janet Brino, wrote in a statement in Lorenzo’s honor, “To my dear sweet nephew, your loss left a hole in my heart. God needed another Angel and he took you. Please watch over your mom and dad. You sister Mimi, brothers, Antonio, Zachary and Nicholas … You got a big job up there.”
