Blake Heron’s cause of death has been revealed, five months after he was pronounced dead at his Los Angeles area home in September.
The 35-year-old former child actor, best known for his role as Marty Preston in 1996’s Shiloh, died of an accidental drug overdose due to the “effects of multiple drugs,” according to his death certificate obtained by Entertainment Tonight.
Heron, who had also previously battled heroin addiction and had completed rehab, reportedly overdosed on the opioid fentanyl and also had other medications in his system.
The Los Angeles County Coroner did not immediately respond to People’s request for comment.
