Josh Samman’s official cause of death listed as probable drug overdose

Josh Samman's death has been ruled a probable drug overdose by the local coroner.

Broward County chief medical examiner Craig Mallak said Tuesday that even though there was no toxicology report done on Samman, circumstances have led him to believe that the late UFC fighter died from a probable drug overdose. TMZ was the first to report the news.

Samman died Oct. 5 after being in a coma for about five days. He was 28 years old.

Samman and his friend Troy Kirkingburg were found the evening of Sept. 29 at an apartment in Hollywood, Fla.
