Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on September 30, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive for the drugs.

The decedent passed away in a fiery, single-vehicle crash on the Hollywood (101) Freeway near Universal Studios.

California Highway Patrol said the crash occurred at around 4:40 a.m. on the southbound freeway at Universal Studios Boulevard.

A white sedan struck a concrete barrier on the right shoulder of the freeway and caught fire.
