The death of actor Verne Troyer has been ruled a suicide by a coroner in Los Angeles.
The Austin Powers actor, best known for playing Mini-Me in the series, died in April at the age of 49.

Following an autopsy and further tests, the Los Angeles County Coroner said the actor died from the effects of alcohol, and ruled his death was a suicide.
Verne Troyer has also made regular appearances on Celebrity Juice and starred in Keith Lemon’s feature length film, Keith Lemon: The Film.
One of his first roles was as a stunt double for a nine-month-old baby in the 1994 movie Baby’s Day Out.
Verne troyer appeared in two Austin Powers movies as Mini-Me, the clone and sidekick of the villain Dr. Evil who was played by Mike Myers.

“I want to thank everyone that’s reached out with their messages of support, it truly means the world to me.”
