Chris Penn died from valium, morphine, marijuana and codeine. I mean an accident

[SVZ]

"Chris Penn’s toxicology report revealed."

Actor had Valium, morphine, marijuana and codeine in his system.



Valium, morphine, marijuana and an elevated level of codeine were all found in Chris Penn's body when he died, according to the toxicology report obtained by Access Hollywood.

The report also found traces of promethazine (an antihistamine) in his system.

Chris, the younger brother of Oscar-winner Sean Penn, was found dead on January 24 at his condominium near the beach in Santa Monica, California.

The 40-year-old actor's body was discovered after police were called to the condominium complex by Penn's housekeeper.

The official cause of death is still an enlarged heart, but the coroner's office claims the drugs in his system added to the problems associated with his already enlarged heart.

Chris Penn's film credits included "Starsky & Hutch," "Mulholland Falls," "Rumble Fish," "All the Right Moves," "Footloose" and "Rush Hour." He also played Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in the 1992 Quentin Tarantino crime drama "Reservoir Dogs."

His late father, Leo Penn, directed television shows. His mother, Eileen Ryan, is an actress whose credits include "I Am Sam," "Magnolia" and "Parenthood." Another brother is musician Michael Penn.

Chris' latest film, "The Darwin Awards," premiered in late January the Sundance Film Festival.

Kind of off topic but on the day he died I visited his imdb message board. A few months back someone started a thread about how Chris Penn should turn to celebrity fit club to lose weight 'coz he might die. Ok so he died and other users blamed the thread starter... something a long the lines "see what you did? He died."

FRANK magazine in Canada did the same thing, running an article on
John Candy a mere eight to ten weeks before he died.

Some insider was on a movie set and Candy had to run up a flight
of stairs, and he could only do one take before collapsing of exhaustion. A stunt double had to finish the scene.
(He was close to 300 lbs.)
