“How to Eat Fried Worms” star Blake Garrett’s cause of death has been confirmed.
The former child star died on Feb. 8 at age 33 from an accidental fentanyl overdose, according to the Oklahoma Office of the Chief Medical Examiner’s report obtained by TMZ Monday.
Per the report, he was living in a sober living home located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
A week before Garrett’s tragic death, he was rushed to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with shingles, his mom, Carol, previously told the outlet.
At the time, the matriarch feared her son’s death might have been accidental, speculating that he might have been self-medicating.
The CDC defines shingles as a “painful rash,” which is “caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox.”
Garrett starred as Pug in the 2006 Bob Dolman-directed movie, “How to Eat Fried Worms,” alongside actors Luke Benward, Hallie Eisenberg, Adam Hicks, Ryan Malgarini and Alexander Gould.
