Carrie Fisher Drug Autopsy: Family Outrage Over Secrets

Carrie Fisher's heartbroken family fears the revelation that the “Star Wars” heroine died with a cocktail of drugs in her system will ruin her legacy!

The late actress’ loved ones rushed to her defense after the Los Angeles County Coroner announced tests revealed evidence of cocaine, methadone, Ecstasy, alcohol, opiates and even heroin. Carrie, who battled drug demons for decades, went into cardiac arrest on a Los Angeles-bound flight, and died Dec. 27, 2016 — a shock observers feel led to the grief-stricken death of her mother, Debbie Reynolds, the next day.

The medical examiner’s office concluded Carrie died of “sleep apnea and other undetermined factors,” including atherosclerotic heart disease and drug use. After the findings were made public, Carrie’s brother Todd Fisher raged their release.

“From my perspective that there’s certainly no news that Carrie did drugs,” said Todd. “If you want to know what killed her, it’s all of it. Without her drugs, maybe she would have left long ago.”

Carrie’s sister, Joely Fisher, added: “She spent a lifetime well documenting her dance with demons. It’s a shame we can’t hear her own words regaling us with this final kick line.” Joely urged Carrie’s fans: “Do not let this change the way you feel about my brilliant sister. She was a lot of things to a lot of people, but never a liar.”

Carrie’s daughter, Billie Lourd, said in a statement: “My mom battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life. She ultimately died of it. “She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases.”
