TikTok Star’s Cause of Death Finally Revealed
Cooper Noriega was found dead in a Burbank, California, parking lot in June. He was 19.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner has determined that Noriega died due to the combined effects of fentanyl, lorazepam, which is used to treat anxiety, and alprazolam, also known as Xanax.
The coroner also noted his recent use of clonazepam, another anxiety medicine, as another significant condition that contributed to his death.
Noriega’s death was ruled an accidental overdose, and the coroner confirmed that he died in Burbank Town Center’s West Parking Garage on 1st Street.
Shortly before his death, Noriega posted a video on TikTok, where he now has over 3 million followers, with the caption, “Who else b thinking they gon die young af.”
He died less than three weeks before his 20th birthday.
