LOS ANGELES — Mark Hughes, founder of the weight loss and nutritional firm Herbalife International, had been on a four-day drinking binge just before his death in May, final autopsy results showed Saturday.
Hughes, 44, was found dead in his bed in his Malibu home on May 21. He died from an overdose of alcohol and the prescription anti-depressant Doxepin, the autopsy report said.
The autopsy was released by the Los Angeles County coroner's office on Saturday and quoted sources close to Hughes saying he was drinking at a birthday party the night before his death and "had been on a four-day drinking binge."
