Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published in mid-November, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive from the lab. This is considered an accidental, i.e., unintentional, drug overdose.

The decedent had multiple DUI arrests for driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. He also had been arrested for a hit-and-run resulting in injury.
