KTLA anchor and reporter Chris Burrous was found to have died from methamphetamine toxicity, according to a Los Angeles county coroner's report released Friday.
Burrous, who was 43, died on the afternoon of Dec. 27 after being found unresponsive at a Days Inn in Glendale with a male companion, according to authorities.
The Glendale Police Department initially said they were investigating Burrous' death as a suspected overdose.
Other contributing factor to his death, according to the coroner's office, included hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
His death was ruled an accident.
Burrous, who first joined KTLA in 2011, was a beloved figured at the station, anchoring the KTLA 5 Weekend Morning News and reporting on weekdays. His Burrous' Bites segment, where he showcased hidden foodie gems across the Southland, was a popular fixture on the program.
Burrous is survived by his wife Mai and 9-year-old daughter Isabella.
He was laid to rest on Jan. 11, what would have been his 44th birthday.
So, how did YOUR Daddy die, Isabella?
“With his gay lover in a Motel Six of a drug overdose!”
Hell of a LEGACY there, Dad! Hell of a Legacy. :(
Not exactly the most glamorous exit.
Meth fueled gay sex.
Perfectly normal, right wifey?
Hey c’mon...Days Inn...he had some class!
“”a male companion””
WOW - they’re getting brave, aren’t they? Don’t expect to see that in a news article!
Paging Well Bye Guy ... please pick up the Whatevs phone.
Above or below David Carradine?
On the "exit" scale, that is.
43, yikes...
“With his gay lover in a Motel Six of a drug overdose!”
Is that the case?
Report I heard on the radio didn’t mention that part.
Is Glendale better or worse than WeHo for that type of stuff?
It is still Trump’s fault
Yeah. And in Glendale too. It could have been City of Industry or something....
Accident? It was purely premeditated carelessness.
What an idiot.
I’m wondering what he knew and about whom.
To live and die in Glendale....
Ping
Tough one to call. David died in a more exotic location (Thailand) but then again dying in a closet of failed autoerotic asphyxiation might be below this one.
I didn’t see the gay part either. Not saying it was or wasn’t
