Atlanta investigator, Betty Honey, of the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office, said that after a toxicology screening, a mixture of drugs were found in the system of Chris Kelly. Although Honey was unsure of the exact drugs, the test proved that drugs caused the death. Another sad reassurance, was the comments from his mother.
