UFC middleweight Josh Samman’s official cause of death has been listed as a “probable drug overdose,” according to a report published by TMZ Sports Tuesday morning.
Samman and roommate Troy Kirkingburg were reportedly found unresponsive at their Hollywood Beach Gardens Apartment on Sept. 29. Kirkingburg, a ring announcer for the Samman-owned MMA promotion Combat Night, was pronounced dead on arrival at a South Florida hospital. Samman died on Oct. 5 at the age of 28.
“[Samman’s] cause of death is a probable drug overdose based on the circumstances and hospital drug screen that was positive for drugs, but we could not confirm this as they only hold specimens for three days,” the Broward County Medical Examiner allegedly told TMZ Sports.
