1. Lindsey's Death & Coroner Report
On October 16th 2016, 20-year-old actress, writer, director, photographer and fashion designer Lindsey Peterson died from unknown causes at her home in Los Angeles. Her autopsy revealed no known cause of death. At the time of her death, she was working on a documentary about marijuana legalization and was also planning on releasing her own brand of CBD-infused skincare products. After her death, rumours began circulating that she had been diagnosed with cancer. On November 2nd 2016, the coroner’s office released their full report on Lindsey’s death, stating that they were unable to determine the cause of death due to “the lack of evidence found”. Since then, many have speculated about possible causes of death including suicide, drug overdose, and even murder. The coroner’s report stated that toxicology tests showed trace amounts of THC in her system, although there are no records of any legal prescription drugs being administered. The only medications mentioned in the reports were over-the-counter vitamins that she took daily.
2. Drugs Tested
Toxicology testing on Lindsey's body revealed traces of THC (the psychoactive chemical in marijuana) and vitamin D3. According to the medical examiner, these results confirmed that she did not die from either of these elements alone. However, the levels detected were lower than what would normally be expected if someone had smoked pot within 24 hours of their death. Tests on her stomach contents showed that she ate before she died, but not within the previous 12 hours. The coroner ruled out poisoning since no illegal narcotics were found in her bloodstream. Toxicology tests on urine samples taken from her the day after her death showed no presence of cocaine, opiates, antidepressants, or amphetamines. In addition, lab analysis of both her fingernails and hair follicles revealed no sign of heavy metals or toxins. She was also tested for alcohol use, but the results came back negative. A total of 17 types of prescription drugs were analyzed, however, none were detected. Her stomach contents included an apple and half a banana. It is possible that these foods may have interacted with the over-the-counter medication she was taking, leading to a positive result.
