Coroner finds cocaine among drugs in Fisher system
Los Angeles coroner released an autopsy report on Carrie Fisher showing cocaine was present in her system when she fell ill on a plane last year. The report notes cocaine possibly taken three days before the Dec. 23 flight and cites traces of heroin and MDMA, though timing could not be determined. It states the cause of death remains undetermined though sleep apnea and other factors contributed. Todd Fisher commented that drugs were part of her health history, tied to treatment for mental illness.
