‘Green Book’ actor Frank Vallelonga Jr. died of cocaine, fentanyl overdose before his body was dumped in Bronx

NEW YORK — The “Green Book” actor whose body was dumped on a Bronx sidewalk died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl and cocaine, a city Medical Examiner autopsy has determined.

Frank Vallelonga Jr.’s corpse was found at 3:50 a.m. on Nov. 28 on Oak Point Avenue, an industrial street in Hunts Point.

Police at the time suspected 60-year-old Vallelonga, whose identity was not immediately known because he had no identification on him, died of an overdose. A medical examiner spokesman on Monday said Vallelonga died accidentally from “acute intoxication due to combined effects of fentanyl and cocaine.”
