Details revealed...
Gerald Levert's death a few months back was apparently caused by a fatal combination of prescription narcotics and over-the-counter drugs. The drugs in his bloodstream included the narcotic pain relievers Vicodin, Percocet and Darvocet, along with anxiety medication Xanax and two over-the-counter antihistamines. The official cause of death has been labeled acute intoxication.
Andy Gibson, a family spokesman, said Levert was taking the pain medication because of chronic pain from a lingering shoulder problem and surgery in 2005 to repair a severed Achilles tendon and was taking Xanax for anxiety attacks. The autopsy revealed that Levert had pneumonia.
