The coroner confirmed that the actress, who was 43 years old at the time of passing, died by suicide. According to a report obtained by People magazine, her death was ruled as a suicide caused by sodium nitrite toxicity. The Empire actress was found dead on February 18 (the date listed by the coroner). Lindsey Pearlman was discovered in a vehicle located near the entrance of Runyon Canyon Park, a hiking trail in Hollywood. According to the report, there was a “presence of non-toxic levels of “lorazepam, metoclopramide, and codeine,” along with sodium nitrite in Pearlman’s system. Prior to the Chicago Justice actress’ passing, Pearlman went missing on February 13. Her cousin Savannah informed followers that her phone indicated that she was last seen on Sunset Blvd, 1.5 miles away from where her body was found. What is sodium nitrite Lindsey Pearlman dies from intentional overdose According to the National Library of Medicine, sodium nitrite is a “powerful oxidising agent” that restricts oxygen from being delivered to the body. When consumed, symptoms like hypoxia, dysrhythmias, and change in consciousness levels can be experienced. In the most dangerous cases, a person can die as well.

Although the exact number remains unknown, poison centers in the U.S. have reportedly received a frightening number of reports of people consuming the toxic chemical as they attempt to harm themselves. Several countries have found it difficult to keep sodium nitrite away from vulnerable people. Unfortunately, the substance can be easily bought from Amazon, which has led to many officials and family members of lost ones attempting to sue the large corporation. Seven members of Congress also wrote an open letter to Amazon in February, pleading with the company to restrict sales of the substance.
