Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke’s death ruled accidental overdose by coroner

LA County medical examiner ruled Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke’s death an accidental overdose of heroin and cocaine, with the combined effects of multiple prescription medications noted as a contributing factor; Clarke, 29, was found unresponsive in May after a 911 call and pronounced dead, with drug paraphernalia found at his home. A full autopsy report will be released later; Clarke had an April Arkansas arrest on drug charges, and Kratom reportedly found in possession was not confirmed to be present in his body at the time of death.
