Best Answer

Orange County Deputy Coroner Mitchell Sigal determined from toxicology tests that The Rev died of an accidental overdose of strong prescription painkillers and alcohol. His death was a result of acute polydrug intoxication due to combined effects of oxycodone, oxymorphone, diazepam/nordiazepam, and active intoxicant of alcohol. Sigal also noted that The Rev also had an enlarged heart, which was noted in the coroner's report as a "significant condition" that may have contributed to his death. An enlarged heart is commonly associated with prolonged drug abuse.

A side note: Some have been saying that there is a theory that he Jimmy Sullivan died of stomach cancer. This is due to the top hit of the Google search "the rev cause of death" being for an actor, known as the Rev, that died of stomach cancer. That Rev was named David Sheppard, and was born in 1929. This was not the same person.
