Celebrities Who Died from Drug Overdose

Mac Miller (1992-2018)

Miller was a young star who lost his life like many other emerging stars due to a drug overdose. The actor passed away at the age of 26 in 2018. The cause of his death was consuming a higher quantity of alcohol with fentanyl and cocaine. This turned out to be a lethal combination as Miller was found dead sometime later. According to reports, Miller purchased a highly-addictive opioid called oxycodone but was sold a fake version containing deadly fentanyl, a deadly substance.

In 2019, a man was indicted in connection to Miller’s death. The suspect pleaded guilty to one count of fentanyl distribution. As per the plea deal, the accused was sentenced to seventeen years. Later, another man was arrested on the same changers, and he also pleaded guilty for supplying fentanyl, which played a role in Miller’s death. Both the drug dealers confessed to selling fentanyl to the deceased.
