It has also been revealed that police are looking to arrest the doctor that called authorities after finding her unresponsive, after he allegedly removed pills and a note from the scene.
'Blasberg was found deceased in her Henderson home with a plastic bag secured over her head,' County Coroner Michael Murphy said in a statement released Tuesday, adding that 'toxic' levels of prescription medication were also found in her system.
While asphyxia was the primary cause of death, the presence of prescription drugs in Ms. Blasberg’s system was a significant factor,' Murphy added.
He went on to reveal that toxicology reports showed the presence of headache, cough, pain and anti-anxiety medications, including butalbital, temazepam, alprazolam, codeine, hydrocodone and tremadol.
And although foul play has been ruled out an arrest warrant for Las Vegas based family practitioner, Dr. Thomas Hess has been issued on the grounds of obstruction of justice.
'Hess admitted to removing a note indicating Ms. Blasberg had taken her own life," the Coroner's statement says. "He hid it in his vehicle along with prescription medications taken from her house.'
Hess claims he knew the 25-year-old from the golf club and that he discovered her lifeless body on May 9 at her Henderson, Nevada home when he stopped by her house to check on her welfare.
