Fentanyl, Xanax fatal to Lil Peep

- Chris Sommerfeld­t

LIL PEEP, the up-and-coming rapper who was found dead before a show last month, died from an accidental overdose of Fentanyl and Xanax, according to a toxicology released on Friday.

Lil Peep — whose real name was Gustav Ahr — was found unconsciou­s on his tour bus before a gig in Tucson, Ariz., on Nov. 15. It was widely suspected that the 21-year-old rapper died from an overdose.

The Long Islander (photo) also tested positive for marijuana, cocaine, Tramadol and a number of other powerful prescripti­on opiates, according to the toxicology report, which was issued by the Pima County Medical Examiner and obtained by the Daily News. No alcohol was detected in his system.

Lil Peep made a name for himself as one of the pioneers of “cloud rap,” a genre dominated by ambient beats and emotional lyrics about tough topics such as drug abuse and suicide.
