UPDATE: Carrie Fishers full autopsy revealedcocaine, morphine, codeine and oxycodone in her system at the time of her death, TMZ reports. It is unclear what role, if any, any of the drugs played in the death of the actress last year.

A coroners report in the death of Carrie Fisher found that sleep apnea and other undetermined factors caused the Star Wars actress massive heart attack days before her December 27th death.

The Los Angeles County coroners office added Friday that atherosclerotic heart disease fatty tissue in the walls of Fishers arteries also contributed to her death, but the exact cause of her heart attack aboard a Los Angeles-bound airplane remains unclear.

Additionally, a medical examiners report the result of an autopsy conducted three days after Fishers death revealed signs of multiple drug intake around the time of her death, although which drugs specifically werent announced. The report also stated that investigators couldnt determine whether the drugs played a role in her death, the Associated Press reports.

Were not enlightened. Theres nothing about this that is enlightening I would tell you, from my perspective that theres certainly no news that Carrie did drugs, Todd Fisher said. Without her drugs, maybe she would have left long ago.

Todd Fisher added that a number of factors including Fishers smoking, past drug use and current medications likely all contributed to the actress death at the age of 60.

In a separate statement (via CNN), Fishers daughter Billie Lourd said following the coroners report, My mom battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life. She ultimately died of it. She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases. I know my Mom, shed want her death to encourage people to be open about their struggles. Seek help, fight for government funding for mental health programs. Shame and those social stigmas are the enemies of progress to solutions and ultimately a cure.
