It seems she died unexpectedly in 2016 of a drug overdose which contained among other things, the deadly fentanyl.
“…The blockages, combined with her taking the medications Adderall, Xanax and the pain medication fentanyl, caused the mother of one’s death in April 2016, Oswalt said.
McNamara’s cause of death remains listed as pending, Los Angeles coroner’s Lt. David Smith confirmed to AP….”
It also seems that his wife was writing a book on a serial rapist:
“[Michelle] McNamara, who was writing a book about a serial rapist and killer at the time, was working long days and nights and was unable to sleep due to anxiety and nightmares that kept her up at night.”
He had suggested she take something to help her sleep:
“So worried about her health, Oswalt suggested she take a night to “sleep until you wake up.” On April 21, McNamara took some Xanax and went to sleep, but never woke up.
The next morning, Oswalt remembered waking up early to get their 7-year-old daughter Alice dressed, packed and off to school. On the way home, he picked up an Americano coffee and left it on McNamara’s bedside table — around 9:40 a.m., he recalled….”
He already knew she was dead...
