The star’s mother officially launched an Instagram account in honor of her son on Wednesday and emotionally revealed that ‘he did not suffer’ in his final moments.
Her first post included a photo of the Suits actor and Pamela offered her gratitude to the supportive messages she has since received.

She added that her son ‘was in love with the magic of being an actor, always studying and honing his craft.’
