Case Number: 2024-02814

Los Angeles County is reporting the death of a 56-year-old Black male that occurred in a hospital.

The coroner’s office has identified the man as Ward Robinson.

Manner of Death: Accident

Cause of Death: Sequelae of Methamphetamine Use

Other Significant Condition: Atherosclerotic and Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease

RIP WARD ROBINSON (April 26, 1967 – February 14, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Wednesday at 10:48 p.m.

The government investigator had initially given the decedent’s name as Anthony Robinson. By April, it had been changed to Ward Robinson.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on May 8, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive for the drug.

This is considered an accidental overdose.
