RIP ROSLYNN MARIE COBARRUBIAS (March 12, 1980 – November 19, 2023)
Formal pronouncement of death was made on Sunday at 6:55 p.m.
The government investigator had initially misspelled the decedent’s surname as Cobarrubis. A correction to the record was made on Tuesday.
Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on March 20, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive for the drug. Olanzapine (sold under the trade name Zyprexa among others) is an antipsychotic medication primarily used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Like other antipsychotic drugs, olanzapine can worsen suicidal thoughts or behavior.
Cobarrubias was an entertainment producer of Filipino descent.
In August 2022, a 39-year-old Filipina doctor named Theresa Joy Sto Domingo died from a cocaine overdose in L.A. County.
In November 2022, a 30-year-old Filipino American respiratory therapist named Brian Yuzon died from a cocaine overdose in L.A. County.
