The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner has since ruled his death was an accident.

Throughout his life, Binzer suffered from drug addiction and featured on TV shows about the issue, such as Celebrity Rehab and Sober House.

His manager Howie Hubberman said “we all tried, but ultimately we all failed” the singer, in a statement given to US outlets after his death.
