14 DAY TRIAL // A report from the Los Angeles Country Coroner confirms that the cause of death for actress Lisa Robin Kelly was “multiple drug intoxication.” Her death has been ruled as an accidental overdose.
Lisa Robin Kelly rose to fame as Eric Forman's hot, slutty sister on the TV sitcom “That 70s Show.” She played a wild blonde on the screen, but she was as wild in her personal life as well. Her problems with alcohol were well known, but she was trying to get her life back on track.
She died in her sleep at age 43 at a rehab facility where she had voluntarily committed herself on August 14 of last year. At the time, an autopsy failed to reveal the cause of death, as no signs of trauma were discovered, so the coroner had to wait for the toxicology reports.
Right now, it's not been specified which drugs were present in the actress’ system, but Kelly has had trouble with illegal substances before. She has been arrested at least four times over the past three years for DUIs, spousal abuse and even assault.
At the time of her death, her agent was quoted as saying “She had been fighting demons for a while now and finally lost her battle.” Her last entry into rehab was caused by a relapse into alcohol, following a huge row with her estranged husband Robert Gilliam.
The full toxicology report will be revealed in two weeks’ time. Foul play has been ruled out and her drug overdose was deemed “accidental.” The news of the coroner's report was first broken by TMZ.
Apart from her role in “That 70s Show,” Kelly also appeared in short roles in “Married … with Children,” “The X Files,” “Days of Our Lives,” “Charmed,” as well as in movies such as “Payback,” “Amityville Dollhouse,” “Jawbreaker” and “Clubland.”
