American actor Austin Majors has died at the age of 28.
According to local media on the 13th (local time), Austin Mazos died on the 11th at a homeless housing facility in Los Angeles.
Although the direct cause of death has not yet been revealed, there is no sign of murder and it is assumed that the death was caused by a fentanyl overdose.
The autopsy is scheduled to be completed by the 14th, and it will take several months for the results to come out.
His family later released a statement saying, “Austen was a loving, artistic, wonderful and kind human being, and he took great joy and pride in his acting career.” I will miss you deeply forever.”
According to foreign media, fentanyl, which is called a zombie drug, is highly addictive and can lead to death even in very small amounts, so the risk is high. In addition, as the number one cause of death among young adults in the United States is illegal fentanyl poisoning, it is emerging as a serious problem in the United States.
Meanwhile, Austin Mazos, born in 1995 and a former child actor, made his face known by appearing in works such as the films ‘Treasure Castle’ and ‘Ant Bully’ and the drama ‘NYPD Blue’.
Last year, he also won the Best Performance in a TV Series category at the ‘Young Artist Awards’.
