Patton Oswalt’s Wife Died Surrounded By Pills & Cocaine

Patton Oswalt has claimed that his wife tragically died of an accidental overdose and a heart condition, but an exclusive RadarOnline.com report has revealed that investigators found “cocaine” and piles of pills at the scene! The comic actor’s wife, true-crime writer Michelle McNamara, was found dead in the couple’s home in April 2016, at age 46.

Oswalt recently told fans that her death was caused by a “combination of drugs” and a previously undiagnosed heart condition. A new autopsy report obtained by Radar confirms that cause of death – but that isn’t the whole story. According to the report, investigators found “multiple pills” and a vial of cocaine at the drug-riddled death scene!

As for which of those she may have sampled, authorities said that the powerful narcotic fentanyl, antidepressant alprazolam (Xanax), and amphetamines were all discovered in McNamara’s blood stream. The antidepressant Bupropion, synthetic opiates like Oxycodone and anti-anxiety benzodiazepine pills were just some of the drugs discovered.

In all, authorities found five prescription bottles, multiple plastic baggies filled with pills, and two clear plastic bags, “each containing a smaller, clear plastic bag, containing a small brown vial containing apparent white powder.” One vial contained “Cocaine and Levamisole,” a worm-parasite treatment often cut with cocaine, and another was found to contain hydroxyephedrine.

Still, Oswalt told cops at the scene that his wife had no known history of narcotics use, according to the documents — and said that she only drank socially. He revealed that she had suffered bouts of depression and was seeing a psychiatrist, but had not threatened suicide. He even claimed that the Xanax they had found was his! The Los Angeles Police Department has filed no charges against Oswalt for possessing the drugs. Meanwhile, he is raising the couple’s pre-teen daughter, Alice, on his own.
