According to the Virginia Department of Health, the late reality star’s official cause of death was toxicity from fentanyl and para-fluorofentanyl … an illicit synthetic opioid similar to fentanyl.
The agency lists Autumn’s manner of death as accidental.
As we reported … Autumn died back in July, when she was found unresponsive in her bedroom in the Virginia home she was sharing with her kid, her mother and her stepfather.
Paramedics were called and attempted to resuscitate Autumn with CPR … but those life-saving efforts were unsuccessful.
