AceShowbiz - Six days after being reported missing, Luke Bell was found deceased. The 32-year-old country musician's body was found by a passerby in a shaded area of a parking structure in Tucson, Arizona.
An autopsy report revealed that Luke died on August 26. According to the documents, he had a lethal amount of fentanyl in his system and suffered arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease at the time of his death. However, the disease was not what caused his death as the medical examiner stated, "In consideration of the known circumstances surrounding this death, the available medical history, and the examination of the remains, the cause of death is ascribed to fentanyl intoxication," concluding, "the manner of death is accident."
According to Saving Country Music, Luke was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and his "mental state took a turn for the worse" months prior to his death. In a statement to TMZ, his manager Brian Buchanan said, "Luke fought this as hard as he could, but the disease got the better of him. When he was beating the disease, he was the sweetest and most generous guy. He's found peace now and there's some comfort."
