“It is with a shattered heart that I write this post to let you know that my sweet Josh left this earth Easter Sunday,” Peterson wrote on her official Instagram page, breaking this awful news in the process.
Waring’s cause of death has now been confirmed as the result of an accidental overdose on the drugs fentanyl, methamphetamine, and olanzapine, which is an antipsychotic medication.
The sad news comes courtesy of an autopsy report from the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department in California, which was obtained by Page Six.
In her post, Peterson included many photos of Josh — from childhood snapshots to image of him with his daughter, Kennady — and also wrote passionately about her late son’s life and passing.
“No one can ever prepare you for this feeling of such deep loss,” she wrote, adding that “every fiber in my body hurts.”
