Shawn Lucas, Process Server for One Source Process, Delivering the Lawsuit Against the Democratic National Committee and Debbie Wasserman Schultz on July 1, 2016
The Chief Medical Examiner’s Office for Washington, D.C. has released the findings on the cause of death of Shawn Lucas, the 38-year old process server who served the complaint against the Democratic National Committee and Debbie Wasserman Schultz on behalf of Senator Bernie Sanders’ supporters on July 1 of this year. One month later, his girlfriend arrived home to find Lucas lying dead on the bathroom floor of their apartment.
According to an email received today from the Communications Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the cause of death was: “Combined adverse effects of fentanyl, cyclobenzaprine, and mitragynine.” The manner of death was listed as an “Accident.”
Family members could not be reached to determine if Lucas had any history of taking drugs.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse calls Fentanyl “a powerful synthetic opioid analgesic that is similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent. It is a schedule II prescription drug, and it is typically used to treat patients with severe pain or to manage pain after surgery.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, Cyclobenzaprine “is used to help relax certain muscles in your body. It helps relieve the pain, stiffness, and discomfort caused by strains, sprains, or injuries to your muscles…Cyclobenzaprine acts on the central nervous system (CNS) to produce its muscle relaxant effects.”
