Overview
- The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled Clarke’s death an accident and attributed the cause to the effects of heroin and cocaine, with multiple prescription medicines listed as contributory.
- Clarke was found unresponsive in bed on May 11 after his housemate called 911, and first responders pronounced him dead at the scene.
- Investigators documented extensive drug paraphernalia inside Clarke’s home, including syringes, vape devices, blister packs of medications, injectable peptides and a box of Narcan.
- Toxicology in the autopsy identified cocaine, heroin, oxycodone, kratom and other prescription drugs in Clarke’s system.
- Weeks before his death Clarke had been arrested in Cross County, Arkansas on charges tied to more than 230 grams of kratom found in his vehicle, a case that was still pending and may be affected by the autopsy findings.
