Actor Michael K. Williams died of acute drug intoxication in what New York City’s medical examiner said Friday was an accidental death.
Williams, known for playing Omar Little on “The Wire” and an Emmy Award nominee this year, had fentanyl, parafluorofentanyl, heroin and cocaine in his system when he died Sept. 6 in Brooklyn.
Williams, 54, was found dead by family members in his penthouse apartment. Police said at the time that they suspected a drug overdose.
The city’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner said it would not comment further. A message seeking comment was left with Williams’ representative.
Williams had spoken frankly in interviews in recent years about his struggle with drug addiction, which he said persisted after he gained fame on “The Wire” in the early 2000s.

Whens the gold plated funeral and statue unveiling
He was terrific as Omar in “The Wire”. Opiate addiction is a terrible thing.
“fentanyl, parafluorofentanyl, heroin and cocaine.
“It’s the only way to be sure”
Send a (white) cop to jail.
Must have gotten some of that border dope cut with fentanyl.
Oh, so now he’s a good democrat?
Sure you can if its quality
I would say so. Street level dealers are in it for the $$. Cheap cut doubles the take.
These are not good times to have a coke habit.
Every toot is a crap shoot !
It must be because he was just too happy with that star lifestyle.
Belushi would have died for some of........oh. Never mind.
I always heard that people get on heroine because it’s cheaper than coke but they cut the heroine with fentanyl and people take there normal dose not realizing it and od. I could be wrong. I would make a terrible drug addict.
WHO?
Not only did he die doing what he loves, he was also supporting his local dealer and at least one of the cartels.
I wonder if the Biden Administration will be giving him a Freedom Medal.
Can’t you smell that smell?
It’s accidental as many with the ChiCom fentanyl laced addition kills people.
There was another comic who who almost died similarly as three others at the same party were not so lucky.
People think they are getting heroin or cocaine and later find out they didn’t.
The fentanyl is so powerful, only a little will kill. The ChiComs now have their redistribution going full tilt at the US southern border.
If only Hunter could get his fair share.
“He was terrific as Omar in “The Wire”.
Tremendous talent without question. Sad ending with the ChiCom fentanyl laced addition.
The four Police Officers nearest him at the time of his death have been arrested and charged.
He also had a small role in “The Night Of”….creepy. A great actor.
As a general rule for a happy life, stay away from the white drugs.
