The 19-year-old died from an accidental drug overdose, the New York City's chief medical examiner confirmed to TMZ Aug 8. More specifically, his cause of death is attributed to the "toxic effects of fentanyl, bromazolam, alprazolam, 7-aminoclonazepam, ketamine, and cocaine."

Drena, who shared Leandro with artist Carlos Mare, also paid tribute to her son after his tragic death, describing him as a "beautiful sweet angel."
"You have been my joy my heart and all that was ever pure and real in my life," she wrote in a July 2 Instagram post. "I wish I was with you right now. I wish I was with you. I don't know how to live without you but I'll try to go on and spread the love and light that you so made me feel in getting to be your mama."
The 51-year-old noted that Leandro was "so deeply loved and appreciated."
"I wish that love alone could have saved you," she continued. "I'm so sorry my baby."
Drena's father Robert also spoke out about the loss of his grandson, sharing that he was "deeply distressed by the passing," adding that the family was "greatly appreciative of the condolences from everyone."
A suspect was arrested on federal drug distribution charges and taken into custody on July 14 in connection to the case.
