According to TMZ, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra founder died of “intoxication from a mix of methadone, codeine, diazepam (generic Valium) and doxylamine (an antihistamine).”

The autopsy report revealed that the official cause of death was intoxication but mentioned other illnesses he was suffering from including hypertension, heart disease and moderate hardening of arteries. The medical examiner ultimately ruled his death as an accident.

This is a profound and indescribable loss for us all. We ask that you respect Paul’s family’s privacy now. We will make additional announcements shortly.”
