Summary
Oklahoma’s medical examiner ruled former child actor Blake Garrett’s death an accident, listing acute fentanyl toxicity as the cause.
Garrett, best known for playing Plug in 2006 family film How to Eat Fried Worms, died Feb. 8 at a sober living house in Tulsa.
His mother told TMZ he had gone to an emergency room a week earlier with intense pain, was diagnosed with shingles, and she feared he may have self-medicated after three years of sobriety.
Garrett was 33 and had also performed in Barney’s Colorful World tour and local Austin theater before his film role earned a shared Young Artist Award.
