February 14, 2006 - Chris Penn - End of speculation |
Sean
Penn's brother, actor Chris Penn, died accidentally from an enlarged heart
and the effects of a combination of various medications, according to
autopsy and toxicology tests. The Los Angeles coroners office released a
statement late Monday, confirming the reasons behind the shock death of
Chris Penn in his Santa Monica, California, apartment on January 24. The
tests labeled the primary causes of death as nonspecific cardiomyopathy
(an oversized heart) with the 'effects of multiple medication intake'
Chief coroner investigator Craig Harvey says: 'There is absolutely no
indication that this is anything but an accident. We know he had several
prescriptions, including promethazine with codeine, which featured
predominantly in his death. We don't know how much he ingested or when.
There are a lot of what ifs to be factored in'.
