Actor David Gail, known for his role as Stuart Carson in Beverly Hills, 90210 (Feeling of Living in Spain), died on January 20 at the age of 58. The news of his death was announced by his own sister, Katie Colmenares, through her social networks with an emotional message.
”There has barely been a day in my life when you were not with me, by my side, always my partner, always my best friend, ready to face anything and anyone with me,” Colmenares writes on the social network. “I will hug you very strong. Every day in my heart, beautiful, loving, incredible and fierce human being, I miss you every second of every day, forever, there will never be another,’ he wrote on his profile and Instagram.
However, the sister of the interpreter of Port Charles, a sequel to the series General Hospital, did not want to give details of the causes of death. A mystery that caused all kinds of speculation and rumors, in which it was claimed that the actor could have died from an overdose. But just one month after his death, the true house of his death has come to light, thanks to the autopsy.
As reported this past weekend by Deadline, the actor had died from brain and heart complications after suffering drug poisoning that included amphetamines, cocaine, ethanol and fentanyl. As the aforementioned media revealed, David Gail died from anoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which is a brain injury caused by a lack of blood flow after cardiac arrest.
After the discovery, the interpreter’s mother, Mary Painter, opened up about her son’s addiction in a recent interview with the aforementioned media. ”It breaks my heart to know that my son died this way. David began relying on medicine many years ago, after multiple surgeries on his hands and wrists. “He lived in enough pain to prevent him from working for almost a decade, and relief was only achieved through total disability, physical therapy and painkillers,” she began.
”He struggled to stop taking pharmaceuticals and did so before turning to more eastern pain treatment that included acupuncture and natural medicines. I can only assume that his former dependence on opiates influenced his self-medication from uncontrolled sources. “David’s death sheds light on the countless innocent victims of pharmaceutical addiction and the fentanyl epidemic that has claimed so many of our sons and daughters,” said Mary Painter.
