The 31-year-old actor was born in South Carolina.

He played an armless and jawless zombie in post-apocalyptic horror TV series The Walking Dead.

Moseley also starred on Queen of the South, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Watchmen, the film Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories and the BET TV series Tales.

Talent agency Avery Sisters Entertainment wrote in a statement on Facebook: "Moses was a phenomenal actor who has appeared in movies such as The Walking Dead, Queen of the South, and American Soul, but MUCH more than that, he was an AMAZING person!

"For those who knew him, he was the kindest, sweetest, most generous person you would ever meet. We will miss you dearly!"
