911: Lone Star actor Tyler Sanders died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl

911 Lone Star actor Tyler Sanders died from the effects of fentanyl, his autopsy has revealed.

The Fear The Walking Dead star was found dead in his LA home in June at the age of 18, with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner noting that his death was accidental.

Tyler, who had been nominated for a Daytime Emmy for his role in the Prime Video series Just Add Magic: Mystery, landed guest roles on shows including 911: Lone Star, and had been actively posting on social media before his death.

In the report, obtained by TMZ, the Medical Examiner said that Tyler sent a text message to a friend the night before his death, telling them that he was using fentanyl.

It also stated that he did not answer phone calls from his friend after sending the message about his drug use.

The coroner also stated that Tyler had no known medical problems, but did have a history of drug use, including heroin, cocaine, LSD, mushrooms and Xanax. 

Police found a plastic straw and white powder in the room where he died, the report stated.

It comes after Tyler was found dead at home at his home in LA, after police responded to a call concerning a male who was found not breathing.   

Responding officers found Sanders alone at the home and shortly after pronounced him dead.

At the time, the police did not suspect foul play and found no signs of suspicious circumstances. 

On its website, the LA County’s Medical Examiner-Coroner said Sanders’ cause of death was ‘deferred,’ meaning ‘pending additional investigation.’ 

Aside from his role on the YA spinoff of Just Add Magic, the teen actor was best known for guest roles on the small screen in 911: Lone Star, The Rookie and Fear the Walking Dead.

A representative for Sanders, Pedro Tapia, told the site that the cause of death would be investigated. 

‘Tyler was a talented actor with a bright future,’ Pedro Tapia said in a statement. ‘He comes from a wonderful family, and we ask that you respect their privacy at this time.’

Sanders kept a fairly active presence on social media, including a Facebook page where he was often seen at home or on vacation with his large family. 

His last Instagram post was from five days ago where he was seen wearing a blue suit while on a patio in Vail, Colorado. The caption read, ‘Styling.’ 

He had been in Vail with his family as they were seen white river rafting. ‘Here’s a quick before and after of my family white water rafting,’ he wrote in his caption as his family was seen paddling, then in the next photo, hit with water.

Sanders landed an Emmy nomination for role on the Amazon series, Just Add Magic: Mystery City.
