The result of Carrie Fisher autopsy reveals in her body had cocaine and ecstasy

News24xx.com - Carrie Fisher had a cocktail of drugs including cocaine and ecstasy when she suffered a fatal heart attack, a coroner's report revealed Monday, June 19 2017.


The "Star Wars" actress -- who catapulted to stardom as the space epic's rebel warrior Princess Leia -- was rushed to hospital in Los Angeles on December 23 2016 after collapsing on a flight from London and was pronounced dead four days later.

There were quantities of alcohol and opiates, according to the toxicology report.

Tests revealed the cocaine would have been taken within the previous three days, according to the report, which gave the cause of death as sleep apnea -- a breathing disorder -- and other undetermined factors including heart disease and multiple drug intake.

They also showed remote exposure to the recreational drug MDMA, better known in its pill form as ecstasy.

A press release from the coroner's office on Friday indicated that drugs were found in 60-year-old Fisher's system, but it did not go into detail.

"Ms. Fisher suffered what appeared to be a cardiac arrest on the airplane, accompanied by vomiting and with a history of sleep apnea. Based on the available toxicological information, we cannot establish the significance of the multiple substances that were detected in Ms. Fisher's blood and tissue, with regard to the cause of death."  the final report stated.


Fisher's daughter, Billie Lourd, said in a statement released to celebrity magazine People on Friday her mother had battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life and ultimately died of it.
