Gregory's death was first announced by his sister Rebecca Hertzberg-Pfaffinger in a July 10 Facebook post.

"It is with a heavy heart my family has suffered a loss way too early," Hertzberg-Pfaffinger wrote alongside photos of Gregory with their family.

She continued, "Ben was a great Son, Brother and Uncle. He was fun to be around and made us laugh quite often. Still, going through his things, I find myself laughing at little videos or notes of his, in between crying."

"My brother Ben was found in his car, along with his beloved service dog Hans, deceased on June 13. We believe he went there the evening of the 12th to deposit some residuals. (Found in his car) and never got out of the car to do so. He fell asleep and died from vehicular heatstroke."

Born on May 26, 1978, in Los Angeles, Gregory kick-started his TV career at a young age. He made appearances on television shows such as "The A-Team," "T.J. Hooker," "Punky Brewster," "The Twilight Zone" and more.
