NASHVILLE (BP) -- The death of Truett Foster McKeehan, 21, son of Christian rapper TobyMac, was caused by an accidental overdose of fentanyl and amphetamines. The cause was listed on a report from the Davidson County (Tenn.) medical examiner, according to the Tennessean newspaper.

McKeehan's death was sudden. Emergency crews found him dead on arrival to his home after a call was made regarding a person in cardiac arrest.

The report showed potential nitrous oxide use, known also a laughing gas, as well as Adderall and marijuana.

Metro Public Health Department records for Davidson County show that deaths as a result of fentanyl overdose have increased since 2016.

The report state that unbeknownst to the user, heroin, cocaine and other drugs are often laced with fentanyl, which, according to the CDC, is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine.

Davidson County Medical Examiner Feng Li, in the written report, said that McKeehan had previously abused drugs and alcohol, but that is not yet known where the drugs came from that caused his overdose.

McKeehan released music and video projects, along with being featured on some of his father's tracks and albums.

TobyMac released a tribute song for his son Jan. 10 titled "21 Years."

The song, exploring McKeehan's passing at 21 years of age, features a raw outpouring of the heart as the rapper describes his journey of grief.

In an Instagram post regarding the release, TobyMac stated that "writing this song felt like an honest confession of the questions, pain, anger, doubt, mercy and promise that describes the journey I'm probably only beginning."

The rapper continued by pointing to the hope he finds in God.

"One thing I know is that I am not alone," TobyMac said. "God didn't promise us a life of no pain or even tragic death, but He did promise He would never leave us or forsake us. And I'm holding dearly to that promise for my son as well as myself."

Following the tragedy, the rapper's family started the Truett Foster Foundation -- a donation-based scholarship fund that gives children the financial ability to pursue their dreams.

"We want to use this fund to help kids to do just that: to get an education -- to pursue music -- to get the chance to chase their dreams. Truett would love that," reads a statement on the organization's website.

Southern Baptists have affirmed their intention to increase awareness of the dangers of opioids, to advocate for solutions and to serve those affected by addiction in a resolution passed at the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in Dallas in 2018.

"Resolved, that we demonstrate grace toward the addict and hope for recovering that individuals might prosper and flourish," the resolutions reads, that we encourage churches to live out the biblical mandate to care for the fatherless by supporting families and organizations that advocate and care for children whose homes have been impacted by opioid abuse."

Even though it was self inflicted it is sad. Such potential snuffed out on opening night for his stage career.

Hell of a combo...

“fentanyl and amphetamines”

[EEGator]

Sad. I think more people OD’d last year than died in car crashes...

[oldplayer]

Drugs just don’t care who you are.

[dynachrome]

I wouldn’t be surprised if his heart exploded from that mixture.

[SanchoP]

Don’t you remember? At that age you’re gonna live forever.

[eyedigress]

Stay hell out of Nashville.

[Fungi]

“Christian rapper?”

This grim reality earns multiple Darwin Awards -

The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor, originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions.

Liberals In a couple of decades, if left alone to their life styles, will have destroyed themselves via their abortions, drug use age, homo sexual life styles, both DNA wise and soul wise due to their stupid and terminal life choices.

The Democratic Party is morphing into the Donner Party on a daily basis.

Here we have another: Darwin Award Winner!

It is a stretch to call a death like this ‘accidental.’

[Rebelbase]

It’s only by the Grace of God that I survived age 17. And I didn’t know Him then.

I can remember when the youth were content to drink beer and smoke marijuana. Or was it smoke marijuana and drink Doctor Pepper. Anyhow, there just seems to be too many uppers and crazy stuff these days.

[SanchoP]

Exactly

[SunkenCiv]

...caused by an accidental overdose of fentanyl and amphetamines... The report showed potential nitrous oxide use, known also a laughing gas, as well as Adderall and marijuana...

[Deaf Smith]

Add: NOS, Adderal and pot.

Better life through chemistry——NOT

[catnipman]

hmmmm. fentanyl, amphetamines, nitrous oxide, Adderall and marijuana? that young man was totally out of control ...

[ican'tbelieveit]

We are too dang affluent. We coddle our children, they have too much disposable income at their fingertips, and learn no personal boundaries. It is out of control.

It is, first and foremost, absolute bullcrap to refer to the use of Fentanyl (a class I Opioid which has clinical indications requiring a prescription for use in obstetric pain/childbirth, surgical pain, post trauma pain- like from major injuries) and of “Amphetamines” (which are made on the street)-— as being:
“An Accidental Overdose”....

Both agents were clearly obtained on the street and there was NEVER any “dosing” since these were not prescribed medicines.

It is ludicrous to say “accidental overdose” in this description. It was and always is-— “INTENTIONAL self-dosing” for the purpose of GETTING high, however much that takes or they want. No ACCIDENT involved-— since they had no intention of following any other direction than their own drug addled idiotic minds.

Nothing good comes out of this— and it is certainly NOT an Accident. Just saying it this way is one way the cops try to “soften” the notion of what this person decided to do— STUPID A@@holes that they are, with every excuse they can come up with... except they are junkies, and useless individuals.
