Eminem’s 8 Mile co-star Nashawn Breedlove was found dead inside his apartment surrounded by crack cocaine, alcohol, and other drug paraphernalia, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal from an autopsy report.
Breedlove’s decomposed body was discovered on September 24 by police after a neighbor complained of blood and a brown “malodorous” fluid dripping into the downstairs apartment for two days, according to the New Jersey Office of the Chief State Medical Examiner.
Breedlove co-starred with Eminem in his 2002 hit film.
“Officer and the landlord each used a crowbar to force the key locked door together,” the report obtained by RadarOnine.com stated. “They found subject lying on the bedroom floor in a large pool of brown malodorous fluid.”
“A ‘nip’ (a small bottle of liquor) glass pipes similar to ‘crack pipes’ and small circular green plastic containers similar to ‘clicks’ paraphernalia used to store crack cocaine were found,” the autopsy report obtained by RadarOnline.com stated.
Breedlove was found dead in his New Jersey apartment in September.
“There are many flies present and the foul odor now permeates the building,” the report stated. “The apt. is very dirty and disheveled. There is a pile of swept-up garbage next to the bedroom.”
Breedlove suffered an “acute intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl, acetyl fentanyl, cocaine and ethanol,” according to a report filed by Forensic Pathologist Dr. Marianne Hamel.
