[sdpdude9]

The Clark County (Nev.) coroner’s office ruled Bonnar’s death accidental from “Fentanyl, Parafluorofentanyl and Mitragynine intoxication” in an email sent to MMA Fighting after a public records request following the UFC Hall of Famer’s death on Dec. 22 in Las Vegas. He was 45.

The coroner’s office declined to provide additional details on Bonnar’s death, citing medical privacy laws. Typically, the office determines a cause and manner of death within 90 days, but a spokesperson said Bonnar’s case took additional time due to additional testing performed during an autopsy.

Shocking.

 

[Lee_]

That's really sad.

Believe it or not, he took part in the fight that may have boosted the UFC into commercial appeal more than any other.

RIP Bonnar.

That’s freaking awful; dude was barely older than I am…way too young. He had a rough go of it for quite a while. RIP

Yeah he was looking rugged the last few times I seen him.
R.I.P brother.

Had kratom and fent in his system.

Sad. Might have been trying to quit the stuff

 

[Titan1980]

It is sad because everyone knows that when they hear a young person dies "unexpectedly" their first thought is it is fentanyl related.

I would be ok with the death penalty for importers and makers of fentanyl and its derivatives. It is a scourge that has gone unchecked for far too long.

 

[Reign009]

Fuck... what's really frustrating about this is that a lot of people saw it coming. We all witnessed him spiral.

I remember the videos of him going crazy at the hospital asking for more drugs... I wish somehow, someway, that it didn't turn out like this. It didn't have to turn out like this...

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

I'm shocked I tells ya; shocked!

 

[VinceArch]

RIP.

 

[USA!USA!]

Man, fuck drugs. Gone way too soon.

 

[13Seconds]

Damn. Don't do drugs kids.

Stephan Bonnar died of an accidental drug overdose.

The Clark County (Nev.) coroner’s office ruled Bonnar’s death accidental from “Fentanyl, Parafluorofentanyl and Mitragynine intoxication” in an email sent to MMA Fighting after a public records request following the UFC Hall of Famer’s death on Dec. 22 in Las Vegas. He was 45.
The coroner’s office declined to provide additional details on Bonnar’s death, citing medical privacy laws. Typically, the office determines a cause and manner of death within 90 days, but a spokesperson said Bonnar’s case took additional time due to additional testing performed during an autopsy.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid at the center of the ongoing opioid crisis. It is 100 times more potent than morphine and has been linked to thousands upon thousands of overdose deaths in the U.S., many due to unintentional ingestion. Bellator fighter Jordan Young’s death was ruled an accidental overdose due to Fentanyl and alprazolam (Xanax) intoxication.

Parafluorofentanyl is an analogue of fentanyl, while Mitragynine is an active compound of the legal painkiller Kratom.https://www.mmafighting.com/platfor...of-famer-died-of-accidental-fentanyl-overdose @Substance Abuse you can merge if you want to sir

RIP legend.


Let’s not get this thread locked guys, let’s be respectful of this MMA icon.

 

[GluttonforPunishment]

RIP American Psycho.

 

[Mammothman]

RIP

 

[jeff7b9]

We have a very ass backwards broken system in this country that prefers to punish people in actual pain and treat them like criminals and often force them into situations where they wind up buying street drugs rather than give them proper medical treatment.

Looks to me like Bonnar was at least at some point trying to arrange proper medical care for injuries sustained fighting or wrestling. It would appear instead of helping him they arrested him.

It is a shame that our country treats people trying to deal with pain like criminals while also bending over backwards to accommodate addicts and keep them on the street, robbing our stores, shitting in our cars, etc.

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Fentanyl has been taking out a lot of people lately. You'd be better off doing one of the classics at this point than that shit.

 

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

The drug supply has become tainted. Can’t even blow a couple of lines anymore without risking your life. fentanyl is some serious shit.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Yeah, this was another great reason to put down the booger sugar for good. RIP to Bonnar.
