Contributing factors included drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine (used to treat opioid use disorder).

“At the high levels of ketamine found in his postmortem blood specimens, the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression,” the toxicology report read, according to Variety.
