Mac Miller died from a mix of fentanyl and cocaine, coroner rules

Rapper Mac Miller died from a mix of the powerful opioid fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol, the Los Angeles medical examiner announced Monday.

The 26-year-old rapper died in September after being discovered unresponsive in his Studio City home. Authorities performed an autopsy on Miller the following day but "a cause of death was deferred pending further investigation," the medical examiner's office said in a release.

It took months to complete the toxicology report, which revealed that Miller had the deadly mix of drugs in his system. The coroner ruled the official manner of death as an accident.

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine.
