Formal pronouncement of death was made on Wednesday at 6:25 p.m.
Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on November 9, presumably after the results of tox screening came back positive for the drug.
Methorphan here likely refers to dextromethorphan, an over-the-counter cough suppressant, which is also a dissociative hallucinogen.
