James Lee Williams, better known as drag star The Vivienne, died from a cardiac arrest caused by the effects of taking ketamine, their family has said.
The performer's sister Chanel Williams said her family "continue to be completely devastated" by the death of the 32-year-old and will be working with a substance abuse charity to raise awareness of the dangers of the drug.
The RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner was found dead at their home in Cheshire in January, with celebrities and fans around the world paying tribute.
An inquest is scheduled to take place in June.
Cheshire Police said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the performer's death.
Simon Jones, Williams' manager and close friend, said the family felt it was important to share the circumstances of their death.
He said: "I hope by us releasing this information we can raise awareness about the dangers of ongoing ketamine usage and what it can do to your body."

This is used for suicidal people. Would being a flaming faggot lead to suicidal tendencies?

That’s a shame.
That’s the question that is NEVER asked.
“died from a cardiac arrest caused by the effects of taking ketamine.” Dude should have stuck to edibles and vodka.
What a shame. He could have been somebody.
one freakazoid down, a gazillion to go ...
and yes, ketamine is a VERY dangerous drug unless administered in a medical setting by experienced personnel; it generally causes BP to shoot through the roof, so BP must be monitored and anti-hypertensives have to be administrated to control the rise in BP ... ketamine can otherwise definitely cause a hypertensive crisis ...
That’s what killed the Friends guy too. Fool, couldn’t get enough of the stuff.
What a drag.
The abuse of ketamine created a mountain of paperwork for me when I was in practice. We used to buy it by the gross and store it in the fridge and use it sparingly. Now it has to be under lock and key and we had to document every drop of it. People complain about the cost of veterinary medicine but the government intervention due to drug abuse and resulting paperwork created significant time at work dedicated to keeping up paperwork.
Modern blackface is men parodying women.
I think it was ketomine that killed Matthew Perry
Drag Star !!
Not to be rude but, GOOD. Now if only local cops would come upon street people OD’d and call the coroner instead of using Narcan.
Too bad, so sad, well anyway.
