Tyler Sanders, 18, died in June at his L.A. home, and now the actor’s cause of death has been revealed.
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s autopsy report obtained by TMZ, Sanders died of a fentanyl overdose. His death was ruled accidental.
The report also states that Tyler told a friend via text that he was using fentanyl, but did not answer the friend’s phone calls after sending the text.
The doc states that Sanders, who lived alone, was found unresponsive in his bed.
The coroner also indicated that Sanders had a history of drug abuse, including heroin, cocaine, LSD, mushrooms, and Xanax. What appeared to be illicit drugs were discovered in the bathroom.
