Dex Carvey's cause of death revealed 2 months after the comedian died at age 32

The cause of death for Dex Carvey, the son of "Saturday Night Live" alum Dana Carvey, has been released.

A combination of fentanyl, ketamine and cocaine toxicity was the primary cause of the 32-year-old's death on Nov. 15, 2023, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office website. The manner of death was ruled an accident.

The final coroner's report is pending. TMZ was first to report the news Tuesday.

Dana Carvey had shared the news of his oldest son's death in a joint statement with wife Paula Zwagerman back in November. "Last night we suffered a terrible tragedy. Our beloved son, Dex, died of an accidental drug overdose. He was 32 years old," the Nov. 16 statement read. "Dex packed a lot into those 32 years. He was extremely talented at so many things — music, art, film making, comedy — and pursued all of them passionately."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that Dex loved life. And when you were with him, you loved life too. He made everything fun," the statement continued. "Dex was a beautiful person. His handmade birthday cards are a treasure. We will miss him forever. To anyone struggling with addiction or who loves someone struggling with addiction, you are in our hearts and prayers."

Dex Carvey had followed in his father's footsteps as a comedian and opened for his dad's 2016 Netflix standup special, "Dana Carvey: Straight White Male, 60." Younger brother Thomas Carvey is also credited as a warmup comedian in the special.

According to his Instagram bio, Dex Carvey co-founded the Third Wheel Comedy Club in Los Angeles.

Dana Carvey: 'Make sure that you keep moving' amid grief

After taking a hiatus amid his son's death, Dana Carvey returned to co-host the “Fly on the Wall” podcast with comedian David Spade in its Jan. 17 episode.

"It's me and my wife and our son's private journey," Carvey said. "We're all together, and we do a lot of fun things. We hike, we go to church. You just want to make sure that you keep moving."

Carvey added that getting back in the swing of the podcast will be "very healthy for me as I recover."

"I’m kind of on the pain train with about millions of other people on this planet," Carvey said. "And you don’t know how long you’re going to be on it or when it will stop or when it will get better. But in the meantime, all of this kind of stuff is very healthy."
