The toxicology test showed that Andre R. Young Jr. died of “morphine and heroin intoxication,” said Ed Winter, assistant chief of the Los Angeles County coroner’s office. Young’s death was ruled as an accidental death, he said.
Andre Young’s mother found him dead at the family’s home at 10:24 a.m. on Aug. 23. An autopsy was completed a few days later, but the determination of the cause of death was delayed pending the outcome of a “gamut of tests, including toxicology,” Winter said.
