Dax Tejera, an executive producer at ABC News who was believed to have died from a heart attack in late December, choked on food while intoxicated, a medical examiner revealed on Wednesday. The 37-year-old died just weeks ahead of his 38th birthday.
The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner confirmed to The New York Post in a statement that Tejera died on Dec. 23 from “asphyxia due to obstruction of the airway by food bolus complicating acute alcohol intoxication.”
