After months of speculation, authorities have revealed the cause of death for TikTok star Cooper Noriega, who was found dead in a Los Angeles parking lot on June 9, 2022.

According to the Los Angeles County Medical examiner, the 19-year-old had perished due to “combined effects of alprazolam, fentanyl and lorazepam” in what authorities are ruling an accidental drug overdose. An investigation found evidence of “recent clonazepam use.”

Sorry, but I don't see any connection between some idiot overdosing on drugs & social media.
His cause of death is his own stupidity.

I don't see a connection either. Could have been a lot of reasons for an OD.

So many play with a type of Russian roulette using drugs. Especially fentanyl. That's stuff is so dangerous

I read somewhere that children are ordering drugs through social media, and the DOJ has now gotten involved. Many teens are overdosing as a result.

We, humans, had an ingenious ability to create our own demise, long before the invention of " social media".

More parents should take responsibility for their children's activities. Television used to be used as a 'baby-sitter', now social media has too much influence over young people. I'm not against working mothers but, women these days have so much to deal with. Perhaps if they were not so busy they might take more notice of what their children are doing.

True but social media has escalated the pace.

What about working fathers? Do they not have just as much responsibility to take notice of what their children are doing? Is it only the mother's job to oversee the kids activities? I thought this antiquated type thinking would have disappeared by now.
