Maricopa County’s medical examiner said former NFL defensive end Josh Mauro died from acute combined fentanyl, cocaine and ethanol intoxication, ruling the April 23 death accidental.
34-year-old Mauro’s family had announced his death last month in a Facebook post, without disclosing a cause at the time.
Mauro entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2014 and played 80 career games for the Cardinals, Giants and Raiders.
Across those 80 games, he recorded 130 tackles, five sacks, two forced fumbles and five passes defended after starring at Stanford.
