The Pima County Medical Examiner in Arizona said that the rapper, born Gustav Ahr, died of a drug overdose, namely the “combined toxic effects of fentanyl and alprazolam,” the report stated.
Alprazolam is the generic name for Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug. Fentanyl is a deadly narcotic considered much more deadly than heroin. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the drug is about 100 times more potent than morphine and at least 50 times that of heroin. It’s the drug that killed singer Prince last year.
“There were a ton of other drugs in his system though,” TMZ noted of Ahr.
The office said that Ahr’s death was accidental, and it’s well-known that combining Xanax and Fentantyl can be deadly.
Ahr was found dead on his tour bus in Tuscon.
“We have heard there was some sort of substance he did not expect to be involved in the substance he was taking,” Karl, 23, told the magazine. “He thought he could take what he did, but he had been given something and he didn’t realize what it was.”
“It was an accident, it really was an accident,” Oskar added. “He was super happy with where he was in life.”
“Peep was the nicest person,” wrote Dutch dance music producer Marshmello. “Hanging out with him, talking to him about music, the song ideas we were going to do together and touring was so amazing. Everyone will miss you man.”
Ahr was slated to perform in Tucson, Arizona, on Wednesday night to promote his album “Come Over When You’re Sober.” In his lyrics, he openly talked about depression and being a drug addict.
