Nick Lashaway, 28, passed away on Sunday, May 8, after reportedly being involved in a three-car wreck.
Lashaway was a quickly rising star in the acting industry, appearing in popular shows such as Girls (as Frank) and X-Files (as young Agent Fox Mulder). Lashaway also played Marcus in the film starring Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth, The Last Song.
Lashaway became a familiar face around Madison for one role in particular, however. Lashaway played Aiden Paul, the star of the Madison-filmed movie, Prayer Never Fails.
The three-car wreck took place around 6:30 p.m. on May 8 in Framingham, Ma., and a retired Framingham police officer and his two sons happened upon the crash before first responders could make it to the scene. There, they discovered Lashaway unconscious behind the wheel of his jeep, which was reportedly enflamed.
Despite their attempts to perform CPR and the use of an automatic external defibrillator by first responders, Lashaway was later pronounced dead following his transportation to MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham, Ma.
The other two drivers that were involved in the crash have been reported to have suffered injuries.
Prayer Never Fails came to select theaters in Orlando, Houston, and Atlanta, among others, on Feb. 12.
