What was Tommy Smith’s cause of death?
Tommy lived in Orange County, Calif., before he died. The father of one was reportedly in California at the time of his death. In September 2022, Tommy’s girlfriend, Courtney Santaella, wrote a heartfelt post about the musician and confirmed he died on Friday, Sept. 9, 2022.
“9/9/22, you were taken unexpectedly to be with Jesus,” she wrote in a long, heartfelt post. “My heart is broken into a million pieces writing this. I feel numb and can’t think of words to say other than I wish this was a horrible nightmare. What I do know for sure is that I would not be the woman I am today without you.”
While Courtney explained the devastation of losing Tommy, she hasn't yet revealed Tommy’s cause of death. However, the news surrounding his death circulated on TikTok. TikToker @daisyjanewood said she read a report online claiming he died of a drug-related seizure.
According to what Daisy read, Tommy and one of his friends from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) unknowingly ingested fentanyl, which caused their seizures and sent them into cardiac arrest. Other sources have also claimed that fentanyl killed Tommy, however, his official autopsy report isn’t available.
