Actor Angel Salazar, best known for his role as Chi Chi in the hit 1983 film “Scarface,” died at age 68 from acute intoxication from drug use including cocaine, TMZ reported on Thursday.

A rep for the NY Chief Medical Examiner’s office told the outlet that Salazar died from the combined effects of cocaine, cyclobenzaprine — a muscle relaxant — and diphenhydramine, which is a type of antihistamine.

Arteriosclerosis, a type of vascular disease, and hypertensive cardiovascular disease were also listed as contributing factors in Salazar’s death. The M.E. ruled the Hollywood star’s death as accidental.

The star passed away in August, and at the time his rep Ann Wingsong confirmed to TMZ that Salazar “passed away in his sleep” at his friend’s home in Brooklyn “over the weekend.”

A friend went to check on the actor Sunday morning, and found his body in his bed.
