Carrie died of ‘drugs and illness’
STAR WARS actress Carrie Fisher’s death was triggered by sleep apnoea and various “other factors” but an exact cause could not be determined, a coroner has said.
Her daughter Billie Lourd said that she “ultimately” died of drug addiction and mental illness after the coroner on Friday said Fisher had taken multiple drugs before her death.
The sleeping condition and a build-up of fatty tissue in her arteries were among the issues recorded as factors.
The Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner added that “multiple drug intake” was how the “injury occurred” but said that its significance could not be determined.
