Brian Loncar, an attorney known as the Texas Strong Arm, died in early December, a week after his daughter’s suicide. He was found in his Rolls-Royce, parked outside his law firm.

Initially, reports speculated that his death was likely a heart attack. However, today the medical examiner’s office released a report stating he’d died from a cocaine overdose. As Click2Houston reports:

The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office said Thursday that Loncar died from the “toxic effect of cocaine.” Secondary causes of death were listed as hypertension and heart disease. His death was ruled accidental.

Our thoughts go out to the family, friends, and colleagues of this prominent attorney.
