Carrie Fisher had heroin, cocaine, alcohol and other drugs in her system when she died last year, documents revealed Monday.
“The exposure to cocaine took place sometime approximately in the last 72 hours of the sample that was obtained,” said a Los Angeles County coroner’s report.
The coroner found that Fisher, 60, also had other opiates and MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, in her body at the time of her death.
Last week, coroner’s officials ruled that Fisher died from sleep apnea and other factors. But the press release issued Friday didn’t include details of cocaine and heroin.
“At this time, the significance of cocaine cannot be established in this case,” the latest report stated.
The iconic “Star Wars” actress went into cardiac arrest while on a flight from London to Los Angeles on Dec. 23. She died four days later.
“Ms. Fisher suffered what appeared to be a cardiac arrest on the airplane accompanied by vomiting and with a history of sleep apnea,” according to the coroner.
“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.”
Even before the disclosure of cocaine and heroin, the actress’s brother, Todd Fisher, said he wouldn’t be shocked if the “Star Wars” icon was still taking dangerous drugs.
“I would tell you, from my perspective, that there’s certainly no news that Carrie did drugs,” he said Friday. “I am not shocked that part of her health was affected by drugs.
The actress was very open about her drug and alcohol abuse.
Battling those demons was center stage in Fisher’s book and one-woman show, “Wishful Drinking.”
Fisher’s famous mom, Debbie Reynolds, fell ill the same week of her daughter. The “Singing in the Rain” actress died on Dec. 28 at age 84.
