It's either overdose or suicide. The cause of death would be public if it were a random health incident.
I don't think you can say that. A health emergency, of which there are plenty, doesn't necessarily present upon discovery.

Even cardiac arrest wouldn't necessarily be known or disclosed immediately.

A family friend died last week and nobody knew the cause right off the bat. He had sleep apnea and his machine was faulty, he fell asleep using a temporary machine and ended up having complications and didn't wake up. In his mid 30s.

So, ya, you just don't know until some professionals can shed some light.

RIP Jimmy, sad news.

Heartbreaking with small kids involved especially. Grabs at the heart strings.

Yeah, I’ve known several people who died and the family just didn’t want COD released, for various reasons.

31 is way too young. Heart goes out to the family.

Most likely is but we won't know until we know

In clicking around reading the news today, I came across pictures of his kids, and it really hit home. Got quite choked up thinking about those little ones growing up without their father. RIP Jimmy.

I’ll head to the “I need a new show to watch” thread and suggest Burn Notice. It’s on Prime. Not perfect by any means and he is a supporting actor, but we just started and it’s been entertaining so far

He’s known for the Evil Dead movie series

Doubt the police would be there for a health issue though.

Many places if you call 911 you get police, fire and ambulance

They are known as first responders in North America

This really hits hard as a father to a new baby. Whatever the cause, hopefully the family can find some sort of peace.
