Chief Investigator at the Medical Examiner’s Office Paul Parker said that “We are listing that he abused cocaine, and that’s what resulted in the cocaine toxicity.” Ike’s daughter Mia told the AP that her father’s drug use was “an ongoing struggle.” It was such a big struggle that it ultimately led to the music legend’s death on December 12 at his rented San Marcos home.
