A spokesman for the Los Angeles Forensic Bureau said that even after the autopsy, the cause of death had not been identified.
According to the office, the examiner needed “more research on the death, including additional studies.
“Once the evidence / studies return, the doctor will re-evaluate the case and determine the cause of death,” according to page six.
Cooper Noriega was very open about his struggles with mental health and even set up a Discord server for people to openly discuss mental health issues.
“Hi guys, I just created a Mental Health Discord strictly and if you want to join you can; just click on the link in my biography. :)”, Noriega captioned a post on his Instagram a few days before he died.
Less than a day before his death, Noriega wrote sincerely about his struggles with the addiction he had experienced since he was 9 years old.
“This discord aims to unite us all and create a space where people can go out and help others in their difficult times,” the publication said.
