Months after his death, new details have emerged about what led to the passing of former child actor Blake Garrett. Oklahoma medical examiner records obtained by US Weekly reveal Garrett died from acute fentanyl toxicity, with his death officially ruled an accident. The records also confirm he had been living in a sober living facility in Tulsa at the time of his death and that he had been hospitalized in the weeks leading up to it.
Garrett got his start on stage as a child, appearing in productions including Aladdin and His Magical Lamp and Peanuts: A Charlie Brown Tribute, before joining the touring cast of Barney's Colorful World International Tour. He went on to appear in the 2004 direct-to-video release Barney's Colorful World, Live!, and two years later landed his only feature film role, playing Plug in How to Eat Fried Worms.
