The LA County Coroner’s office released an autopsy report but it doesn’t say how much alcohol or cocaine was in his system. Just six months before his death, Benjamin had attempted suicide. He then sought treatment at a rehab for three weeks.

In the footage, Diana is also heard crying and talking to the police. She was reportedly worried that his family would blame her for his death since it happened after their argument. However, reports show that Benjamin had a long history of mental illness, more specifically, depression.
