Ray Anthony Lewis III is the son of former Baltimore Ravens legend Ray Lewis. He died in the middle of last month, as his body was discovered naked and unresponsive. Now, a month later, reports have come out that the eventual cause of death was a drug overdose.
A recent autopsy report received by TMZ states that the 28-year-old had alcohol, alprazolam (Xanax), fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine in his system. It is widely used as an anxiety medication but should be administered in small portions.
When the Casselberry Police arrived at Lewis’ house on June 14, he was found motionless in his bedroom. During the examination, one of his friends, who was one of the first responders, shouted, “He needs Narcan!” The cops administered an opioid-reversal drug but failed in their attempt to revive the unfortunate Lewis.
This coincides with the Blue pill that the investigator recovered from the scene, believed to be Xanax. Moreover, a needle and a beer can filled with a small plastic bag were also found nearby.

His sister, Diaymon Desiree, wrote on her Instagram: “Brownie, I love you with all of my heart. You truly are the definition of a quintessential brother.”
