Authorities have still not determined the cause of death for That ‘70s Show actress Lisa Robin Kelly.
Law enforcement officials are suspicious as to what exactly killed the 43-year-old actress, who reportedly died in her sleep while in a rehab facility less than one week ago. According to TMZ, the L.A. County Coroner and the L.A. County Sheriff are conducting separate investigations into the cause of death. The coroner had not heard of Kelly’s death until reading about it in the headlines. A doctor at the rehab facility had pronounced her dead at 8:07a.m. The coroner didn’t arrive until after noon.
When the coroner arrived, doctors at the rehab center determined that she must have suffered an embolism. However, TMZ notes it is impossible to tell if an embolism was the actual cause of death simply by looking at a dead body. The doctor at the facility also explained that Kelly was taking detox drugs. Currently officials are waiting for the toxicology report to come in to confirm if this is in fact true.
The investigation is currently under a security hold; therefore no new information will be released while the cause remains under investigation.
