Actor Michael K Williams died of accidental drug overdose, coroner confirms

US actor Michael K Williams died after overdosing on a combination of heroin, cocaine, fentanyl and p-fluorofentanyl, the New York Chief Medical Examiner has confirmed.

The Chief Medical Examiner's office confirmed to BBC News that it had determined his death was accidental.He won plaudits for his portrayal of the gay hit man, with President Obama once describing The Wire as his favourite programme and Little as his favourite character. Williams had spoken frankly about his past drug use. He recounted in 2012 that while starring in The Wire he found himself doing drugs "in scary places with scary people". However, he added that he had taken "nothing stronger" than cocaine and marijuana.

Insurance don’t pay out for suicide, but would for an accident ? Is that true ?

I think Bruce Lee died in a similar way , accidently from a drug

There been plenty if 'celebrity ' with drug induced deaths read this a good few had fentanyl too

🥺💙🕊🙏🏾

So sad, it was an really great tallented actor🥀😔

Sounds like he had enough in his system to open an American Walgreens. 💊💊💉💉

So so sad what a waste of a brilliant career. RIP

RIP Micheal, you’ll always be remembered. This world we are living in, you never know what’s happening tomorrow. It doesn’t really matter how someone dies, it’s something that has to happen to every human being at the end of day.

Omar Little ❤

Sad, people should think first love yourself to be able love someone else.

Drugs are evil

The Wire is one of the best shows ever made and Omar Little one of the best characters. RIP

Don’t do drugs, simple. No winners here except the drug dealers and Kingpins. Are they mourning his passing ? Probably not. Condolences to his family.. but no sympathy here.

Liked him. Scared me but I liked him.

Such a waste of great talent. Thoughts are with his family. Note to all illicit drug users ~ unless fentanyl is prescribed and administered by a Dr it is deadly. Maybe not today or tomorrow but it will, come for you. 🥄💉☠🥄💉☠

Accidental, yeah right. So when I go into the bank to withdraw a 100 bucks, and place my firearm on the counter, resulting in the teller giving me 100k bucks, is that an accidental withdrawal?

😔💕💐💜🎭✝️🙏🪦😴✌️

Sad, a great actor, always enjoyable watch
