The heroin, cocaine and alcohol overdose that killed reality TV personality Lyric McHenry in August was an accident, the New York City medical examiner’s office has ruled.
McHenry, the daughter of New Jack City producer Doug McHenry, was last seen by friends leaving her 26th birthday party in Manhattan hours before her lifeless body was found on a Bronx street during the early morning hours of August 14.
McHenry produced and appeared in E!’s one-season show Ej NYC starring Magic Johnson’s son Ej Johnson.
New York police made one arrest in the case, but the charges — tampering with physical evidence and concealment of a human corpse — suggest whatever foul play occurred happened after McHenry’s death, not before. Police arrested Alexis Mejia-Ramirez, 29, of the Bronx on October 15, though the arrest was not announced at the time. Mejia-Ramirez was released last Saturday on $1,500 bail.
