Winter said no other sober roommates were present at the time, aside from manager, and the exact cause of Odell’s death, remains a mystery.

“He didn’t appear to have been intoxicated, because there were no drugs at the scene and no drugs were found in the house,” Winter added.

Although a separate law enforcement source told RadarOnline.com it was a heroin overdose, official word could still be a few weeks away.
