Fentanyl, which has become one of the leading culprits in drug-caused deaths over the last five years in the Los Angeles area and other parts of the country, is often present in counterfeit pills.ĭespite the manner of his death - one of several drug-related deaths that have rocked the skateboarding world in recent years - friends are adamant that Grosso hadn’t reverted to the destructive habits that derailed his life decades earlier. It’s unclear how the phenobarbital, a barbiturate often used to treat seizures and anxiety, or fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid similar to morphine but 50 to 100 times more potent, got in Grosso’s system. The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner’s office later determined his cause of death as acute polydrug intoxication due to the combined effects of fentanyl and phenobarbital. Grosso died unexpectedly March 31, 2020, after being rushed to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach in cardiac arrest.
