Heath Freeman’s cause of death was recently disclosed. The actor died from an overdose of multiple opioids and narcotics.
While speaking to the outlet, the Travis County medical examiner in Texas stated that Freeman had fentanyl, cocaine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and alprazolam in his system when he died.
The manner of death was mentioned as an accident, and the medical examiner has not commented on anything further. The report states that the Skateland star was found unresponsive in his bed after a night of hard partying. Police also found oxycodone and alprazolam pills in his house.
Heath Freeman’s character in Bones
Freeman played the role of Howard Epps or The Manipulator in Bones. The character made its debut in the seventh episode of Season 1.
Epps had an estimated IQ of 180, and his mother, Marianne Epps, had a glandular condition that made her obese. She was religious and tried to raise her son in the same way and keep him pure.
When Epps went out with the women, those his mother felt were loose, his mother made him bathe in ammonia to wash their scent off. She physically abused him regularly and would lament for not beating him frequently.
Epps became a serial killer in his adulthood and was arrested after killing one of his victims, April Wright. As the other bodies were not found, there was no connection to their disappearances.
Epps’ victims were mostly young and blonde women, and he later told Brennan that no young woman was pure. There was no hint that he made his victims suffer until after his escape from prison. It was also when he expanded his range of targets since he felt the need to grow as a person.
