Tom Petty died from accidental drug overdose, coroner says
The New York Times, Jan 19 2018
Tom Petty, the chart-topping singer and songwriter, died in October from an accidental drug overdose as a result of mixing medications that included opioids, the medical examiner-coroner for Los Angeles County announced today, ending the mystery surrounding his sudden death last year. The coroner, Jonathan Lucas, said Petty’s system showed traces of the drugs fentanyl, oxycodone, temazepam, alprazolam, citalopram, acetylfentanyl and despropionyl fentanyl.
In a statement posted to Petty’s Facebook page today, his wife Dana and daughter Adria said, "We knew before the report was shared with us that he was prescribed various pain medications for a multitude of issues and we feel confident that this was, as the coroner found, an unfortunate accident."
