Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 58-year-old Latino male that occurred at his residence.

The coroner’s office has identified the man as Jose Lomas.

Manner of Death: Accident

Cause of Death: Arteriosclerotic and Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease

RIP JOSE LOMAS (April 22, 1966 – April 22, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Monday at 9:40 a.m.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published in August, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive for the meth. This is considered an accidental drug overdose.

Essentially, the meth caused him to suffer a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or cardiac arrest.
