Acclaimed artist Thomas Kinkade died from an accidental overdose of alcohol and Valium, according to the Santa Clara County Coroner’s office.
The coroner’s office listed the “Painter of Light’s” death as “acute ethanol and Diazepam intoxication” and stated his manner of death was “accidental.”
Rescue workers raced to “Painter of Light” Thomas Kinkade’s California home on April 6 but could not revive him. They responded to a call concerning an unconscious, 54-year-old man who had been “drinking all night,” according to a report in The Daily.
