Sophie Nyweide, Former Child Star, Found Dead on Riverbank: Police Share Details

Police have launched an investigation into the death of former child star Sophie Nyweide.

Nyweide was declared dead April 19 after her body was found on a riverbank in Vermont near a lean-to, a simple structure made by leaning tree branches on an angle, the Bennington Police Department told TMZ April 22. She was 24.

According to authorities, Nyweide did not live in the makeshift shelter, but was hanging around there with other people—including an unnamed man who police said they do not consider to be a suspect or person of interest—prior to her death.

A cause of death has not yet been determined as autopsy results and a toxicology report is pending, per police. Investigators added that they have not ruled out foul play.

E! News has reached out to police for comment but hasn’t heard back.

Nyweide appeared in several movies as a child, including 2007’s Margot at the Wedding, 2009’s Mammoth, 2010’s An Invisible Sign and 2014’s Noah. Her last acting credit was in 2015, when she appeared on the hidden camera show What Would You Do?.
