READ TIME: 1 MIN.
The cause of death of a "Storm Chasers" star, who died earlier this year while on a gay cruise in San Juan, Puerto Rico, has been revealed, according to The Blast.
Nearly five months after being found dead in his cabin on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship Harmony of the Seas, Joel Taylor's toxicology report found the reality star died from a deadly mix of drugs. The report, obtained by The Blast, was done by the Institute of Forensic Sciences of Puerto Rico in January.
Among the drugs found in Taylor's system at the time of his death was MDMA (also called Ecstasy), Zolpidem (similar to Ambien), ketamine, and MDA, according to the report.
Taylor, 38, was found dead on Jan. 23. At the time, the cruise liner was hosting Atlantis Events' all-gay Caribbean Cruise, which left port from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. on Jan. 20. Olivia Newton-John and Swedish electronic dance group Galantis headlined the event.
