PEOPLE reports the Boulder County Coroner's lists the cause of death as "mixed drug intoxication" and ruled it as an accident.
The post-mortem toxicology report was completed on Sept. 11 and revealed how the teenager had cocaine, marijuana, alprazolam (commonly known as Xanax), and the opioid drugs, fentanyl and cyclopropyl fentanyl, in his system.
The report stated he had a "history of drug abuse and white powdery substance discovered at the scene."
Bolling Sr. took to Twitter earlier today to share the news with his fans and followers.

Fentanyl, which is classified by the federal government as a Schedule II drug and is often used for pain management, was also the same drug that killed music icon Prince. Moreover, cyclopropyl fentanyl is also 50 times stronger than heroin, up to 100 times stronger than morphine, and not intended for human or animal use.
Last month, Bolling Sr. and his wife, Adrienne took to social media to share how "devastated" they were by his passing.
Bolling Sr. was officially fired from his anchor position at FOX News on Friday due to inappropriate text messages to co-workers.
