Cody Longo died in February from chronic drinking, according to the Travis County Medical Examiner. He was 34.
His official cause of death was due to “chronic ethanol abuse.”
Longo, who was known for roles on “Days of Our Lives” and “Hollywood Heights,” was “found deceased in a state of decomposition in his secured residence approximately three weeks after he was last known alive,” the report obtained by Fox News Digital stated.
The autopsy listed “numerous bottles of alcohol found at the scene,” which coincided with family members reporting a previous history of “significant alcohol consumption.”

His lawyer, Iris Eytan, addressed the plea deal at the time, stating in part: “It’s not a conviction, it’s a plea that amounts to a very slow dismissal. There is absolutely no tie to any sexual facts or assault to this plea.”
