'Cheaters' host Clark Gable III died from accidental overdose of fentanyl, oxycodone and Xanax

Clark Gable III, the grandson of legendary actor Clark Gable, died from an overdose of fentanyl, oxycodone and Xanax, according to his autopsy report.

The 30-year-old was found dead in his Dallas home by his fiancée the morning of Feb. 22.

According to an autopsy report obtained by Fox News, Gable had fentanyl, oxycodone and alprazolam — the generic name for Xanax — in his system. The overdose was accidental, the Dallas County medical examiner's office said.

Fentanyl is a synthetic painkiller 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. It has been cited as a factor in the deaths of Prince and Tom Petty, among others, as synthetic opioids have become the drugs most often involved in overdoses in the United States in recent years.

Yeah, no. If you're taking all three of those at once, it's not accidental. Aristus Apr 2019 #1

His court date isn't set yet. At the end of our most recent visit, I asked him to keep me informed. He's really the sweetest guy in the world. (Even if he wasn't, I'd do everything I could to prevent him from being deported...)
