(L.A.) Andrew Gavin, 36, Died From Recreational Drugs

Case Number: 2023-16280

Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 36-year-old White/Caucasian male that occurred at a residence.

The coroner’s office has identified the man as Andrew Gavin.

Manner of Death: Accident

Cause of Death: Effects of Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid and Cocaine

RIP ANDREW GAVIN (April 11, 1987 – November 24, 2023)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Friday at 8:29 a.m.

The Department of Medical Examiner publicly disclosed the COD ruling on February 15, presumably after the results of tox screening came back positive for the drugs.

Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid is known as a designer drug because it is made usually in home basement labs for the purposes of getting high.

GHB is popular with club-goers and at rave parties. When mixed with alcohol, it has a depressant effect that can cause someone to black out. This is why GHB is often called the date rape drug.
