Justin Townes Earle's cause of death has been revealed
Justin Townes Earle's cause of death has been confirmed by a medical examiner three months after the singer/songwriter passed away.
Townes Earle's team revealed that he died from "an accidental drug overdose", adding that the "autopsy report revealed traces of fentanyl indicating that that usage of fentanyl laced cocaine resulted in an overdose."
His team added, "Even though Justin was very outspoken and concerned about the opioid epidemic and the dangers of the “legal” drugs fed by the pharmaceutical companies, he became the victim of a deadly dose of fentanyl."
The statement continued, "Although legal, and available nearly everywhere, alcohol is a psychoactive, neurotoxic addictive narcotic. The effects of continual, long term alcohol intake is deadly. Addiction is a disease and there are many avenues and treatments to become and stay free from alcohol and drug usage."
