TikTok Star Cooper Noriega's Cause Of Death Revealed

Cooper Noriega's cause of death has been released six months after he was found dead in a Burbank, California, parking lot on June 9.

According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner, the 19-year-old TikTok star died due to the combined effects of fentanyl, lorazepam and alprazolam, People reported.

Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid used as pain medication, while lorazepam is used to treat anxiety. Alprazolam, also known as Xanax, is a fast-acting, potent tranquilizer to treat anxiety and panic disorders.

The coroner also noted Noriega's recent use of clonazepam, another sedative generally used as anxiety and seizure medication, as another significant condition that contributed to his death.

The TikTok sensation's death was ruled an accident. The coroner also confirmed that he died in a parking lot.

Just hours before his death, Noriega took to TikTok, where he had 3.2 million followers, to share a cryptic post. While laying in bed, he wrote, "Who else b thinking they gon die young af [sic]."

His last post on TikTok was a collab with fellow influencer Bryce Hall. "Bryce [is] honestly too funny," he wrote in the caption.

Four days earlier, Noriega announced that he was creating a Discord server dedicated to discussing mental health. He invited his followers to join him on the chat.

"If you're really into getting your emotions out, or whatever, come join," he said in a TikTok video. "I created [the server] because of how much I love you guys and how much I struggle with it myself."

Noriega also promoted it via Instagram. He shared a screenshot of his message that explained why he was attached to the project.

"I've been struggling with addiction since I was 9 years old, you may think that's crazy, but that's the life I've been dealt with," he wrote. "I would like to use the influence I've been given to create a space built on spreading awareness and normalizing talking about mental illness."

He added that his goal was "to eventually open a rehab where people aren't traumatized at the end of their recovery and where the staff members are trusted people."

According to Noriega, one of the things he learned while struggling with addiction was that surrounding one's self with negative people can bring one down. So, he created a Discord server to "bring us all together and create a safe space where people can vent and help others through their tough times."
