The report was published Friday afternoon. According to the coroner, McClain's 2019 cause of death was an overdose of ketamine administered by paramedics.
"Simply put, this dosage of ketamine was too much for this individual, and it resulted in an overdose, even though his blood ketamine level was consistent with a 'therapeutic' blood concentration," said coroner Dr. Stephen Cina.
