Dubai-based travel influencer and photographer Anunay Sood's untimely death last month had left the digital community reeling, with very few details available at the time.
Over a month later, the findings of the official coroner's report have now clarified what led to his sudden death.
What The Police And Coroner's Reports Revealed
Investigators have stated that Anunay Sood was found unresponsive inside his hotel room at the Wynn Las Vegas Luxury, where he had been staying while in the city for a car show. The coroner has concluded that the cause of death was the combined effect of fentanyl and ethanol toxicity.
According to The National, people who were with him initially assumed that he was in a deep sleep. When he did not respond to repeated attempts to wake him, emergency services were contacted. Paramedics carried out CPR and administered five doses of Narcan, which is commonly used to counter the effects of opioids, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
The police report adds that some witnesses suspected an overdose. It also records that members of the group travelling with Anunay Sood had been attempting to procure drugs and had met a dealer, although it remains unproven whether the substance obtained actually contained narcotics.
