The Cause of Death for ‘Scarface’ Star Ángel Salazar Disclosed as Cocaine Use and Heart Disease
Ángel Salazar, who famously played Al Pacino‘s henchman Chi Chi in “Scarface,” died from acute intoxication from drug use … including cocaine, TMZ has learned.
A rep for the NY Chief Medical Examiner’s office tells TMZ … Salazar passed from the combined effects of cocaine, cyclobenzaprine — a muscle relaxant — and diphenhydramine, a type of antihistamine. However, arteriosclerosis, a type of vascular disease, and hypertensive cardiovascular disease were also listed as contributing factors in the actor’s death.
Following these results, the M.E. ruled Salazar’s death as accidental.
