PAUL O'NEILL's Death Ruled Accidental Prescription Drug Overdose

31 May 2017

According to TMZ, Paul O'Neill, creator of the multi-platinum rock theater experience TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, died of intoxication from a mix of prescription drugs: methadone, codeine, diazepam (generic Valium) and doxylamine (an antihistamine).

TMZ obtained a copy of O'Neill's autopsy report, and it also mentions other ailments he was battling, such as mild heart disease, hypertension and moderate hardening of the arteries. The medical examiner determined the death to be accidental.

Earlier today, Paul's family released a statement saying that "the Hillsborough, Florida medical examiner's office has determined the official cause of Paul O'Neill's death as accidental, resulting from an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications to treat his numerous chronic illnesses (including bone augmentation surgery, complications from spinal fusion surgery, heart disease, and hypertension)."

When O'Neill died in April at the age of 61, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA released a statement saying he had "passed away from chronic illness."
