Teen actor Tyler Sanders' death has been ruled as accident caused by fentanyl, according to his Los Angeles County Medical Examiner autopsy report obtained by TMZ on Thursday (December 29).
Sanders, 18, who starred in the television shows 9-1-1: Lone Star and Fear the Walking Dead, was found dead inside his Los Angeles home on June 16.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation told TMZ that the actor had a history of drug use and confirmed that police located a plastic straw and white powder in the room where Sanders' body was located.
Sanders told a friend that he was using fentanyl in text messages sent on the night before his death, the medical examiner wrote in the autopsy report, according to TMZ.
