Crazy Town singer Shifty Shellshock died of fentanyl and other drugs, coroner confirms

More information about the death of Crazy Town frontman Shifty Shellshock has come to light, three months after the rap-rock performer died in June.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner on Tuesday revealed the performer’s official cause of death, confirming details previously shared by his manager. Seth “Shifty Shellshock” Binzer, died due to the effects of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine, according to the coroner database. His death was ruled an accident.

Binzer, a Los Angeles native and reality star, died June 24 at his home in Los Angeles. He was 49.

Binzer formed Crazy Town in 1995 with co-founder Bret “Epic” Mazur. The group gained popularity in the early aughts for hits “Butterfly” and “Starry Eyed Surprise.”

Days after the singer’s death, manager Howie Hubberman said his client died of an accidental drug overdose, despite Binzer’s efforts to overcome his drug addiction. The musician “never was able to reach out on a more successful level to deal with his addictions,” Hubberman told People in June.
