Actor Ángel Salazar died from acute intoxication caused by the use of drugs including cocaine.
The actor, famed for his roles as gun-toting gangster henchman Chi Chi in Brian De Palma’s ultra-violent 1983 version of drug smuggling epic ‘Scarface’, was said to have “passed away in his sleep” on 11 August in a bed at a friend’s home in Brooklyn, New York.
