Entertainment > Painkiller Is Blamed in Harvey DeathCoroner's Report Says Accidental Overdose of Powerful Painkiller Killed Domino Harvey An accidental overdose of a powerful painkiller killed Domino Harvey, a model-turned-bounty hunter whose life is depicted in the upcoming action movie "Domino," according to a coroner's report.
Fentanyl, a drug more potent than morphine, was found in her heart, blood and liver, according to a toxicology report released Friday by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office.
Harvey, 35, was found unresponsive June 27 in the bathtub of her West Hollywood home and was pronounced dead at a hospital. Neither drowning nor foul play contributed to her death, the report said.
British-born Harvey, daughter of actor Laurence Harvey, star of the original "The Manchurian Candidate," gave up a modeling career and socialite life to become a bounty hunter.
Arrested in West Hollywood in May on drug charges, Harvey also faced federal charges of conspiring to distribute drugs, crossing state lines for unlawful activity and having property used in or obtained through criminal activity in Gulfport, Miss.
"Domino" is scheduled for release on Nov. 4.
