The Coroner just released the actor’s causes of death — the first of which was “acute phentermine intoxication.” Phentermine is the generic name for a weight loss medication.
According to the Coroner, other conditions that may have contributed to Bubba’s death include heart disease and hypertension.
Bubba — who was a towering 6’7″ — passed away on August 3rd. He was 66.
