“It’s important to note Heard had back surgery 2 days before his death, and some of these drugs are commonly used to alleviate pain,” TMZ said. There was an apparent attempt to revive Heard via Narcan, an opioid-reversal agent.

A medical examiner said that he had died from a heart attack, but the toxicology report was recently obtained by the website. “The manner of death is natural,” reads a statement from the coroner’s office in August 2017, People reported.

Heard is best-known for playing the father, Peter McCallister, in “Home Alone” along with roles in dozens of other films, including “Gladiator,” “The Pelican Brief,” “White Chicks,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” and “The Trip to Bountiful.”

“John was a wonderful person and such an incredible talent,” his manager said in August, according to People. “Only a small core group of family and friends knew just how generous and caring John was. He will be missed very much.”
