Autopsy Report Details Drug Cocktail In Garry Shandling’s System When He Died

RadarOnline.com has uncovered the autopsy report for comedian Garry Shandling, who tragically died while on the phone with a 911 operator last March.

While examiners ruled Shandling’s death at age 66 was the result of pulmonary thrombosis caused by deep vein thrombosis, the medical professionals screened his blood, which came up positive for a host of controlled substances.

According to the report, Shandling’s sample was presumptively positive for opiates (codeine and morphine as well as hydrocodone and hydromorphone) along with benzodiazepines and Xanax.

However, Shandling “called 911 because he could not breathe and collapsed while on the phone.”

He was pronounced dead at 11:37 a.m. at St. Johns Medical Center in Los Angeles.
