Toxicology results for Zach England have been released.

According to the Allen County Coroner's Office, no foul play is suspected. The cause of death was ruled multiple drug toxicity and was listed as accidental. A spokeswoman for the coroner's office said there were several drugs in his body that were "above the therapeutic range."

England, 27, Leesburg, died Nov. 22.

According to a previous Kosciusko County Sheriff's Dept. report, at approximately 10:04 p.m. Nov. 21, a KCSD officer received a call of a possible drug overdose at 108 E. Prairie St., Leesburg. When officers arrived on scene, medics were already present, administering CPR to England.

England died at 9:06 p.m. in Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne.

According to Det. Sgt. Joe Mooney this morning, the investigation is still ongoing. Several interviews are still to be conducted, but Mooney hopes for a conclusion in the case in the very near future.
