It seems the death of beloved R&B singer Gerald Levert was due to an acute intoxication brought on by a fatal combination of prescription narcotics and over-the-counter drugs.
The drugs in his bloodstream included the narcotic pain relievers Vicodin, Percocet and Darvocet, along with anxiety medication Xanax and two over-the-counter antihistamines, Geauga County Coroner Kevin Chartrand said. The official cause of death was acute intoxication, and the death was ruled accidental.
Andy Gibson, a family spokesman, said Levert was taking the pain medication because of chronic pain from a lingering shoulder problem and surgery in 2005 to repair a severed Achilles tendon. The autopsy revealed that Levert had pneumonia.
Levert also took Xanax for anxiety attacks, Gibson said.

>He must have been in a lot of pain. Sad. I'm going to get his new CD today but I don't know how I'm going to listen to it because everytime I hear the new single on the radio I tear up.
