Crazy Town frontman Seth Binzer died from the combined effects of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine, Californian officials have confirmed.

Binzer, known by his stage name Shifty Shellshock, died aged 49 after being found at his home on 24 June this year.

The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner has since ruled his death was an accident.

Throughout his life, Binzer suffered with drug addiction.

He featured on TV shows such as Celebrity Rehab and Sober House.

In a statement given to US outlets after his death, his manager Howie Hubberman said: "We all tried, but ultimately we all failed, or Shifty would still be here."

After founding Crazy Town in 1995 alongside Bret Mazur, Binzer found fame with the song Butterfly, becoming an early 00s anthem.

In 2004, he released a solo album titled Happy Love Sick. He also fronted the band Shifty and the Big Shots.

Binzer had three sons, Halo, Gage, and Phoenix, with three different partners - Melissa Clark, Tracey Shelor, and the British model Jasmine Lennard, respectively.
