He died of a fatal interaction between prescription medication he was taking for his depression and an over-the-counter medicine he took to treat cold and flu symptoms. He was born August 7, 1981, in Omaha Nebraska and died in Denver, Colorado after spending most of his life in Monument, Colorado. He was a student at the University of Colorado in Denver at the time of his death.
