Denise Russo’s cause of death has been confirmed after the 44-year-old star died earlier this year.
Russo was reportedly found unconscious at a friend’s home in San Diego back in March.
Despite attempts to resuscitate her, she was later pronounced dead.
Following a police investigation, it has been revealed that she died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl and methamphetamine.
It came after drug paraphernalia was found at the scene.
Her cause of death was confirmed by the San Diego County Medical Examiner.
They informed TMZ that despite ‘aggressive attempts at resuscitation,’ Russo lost her life to meth and fentanyl.
Russo’s death comes after her co-star and friend Susie Stenberg told the outlet earlier this year that, at the time of her death, Russo was homeless and living in her car.
She described the late actress as ‘the most loving and loyal person.’
