Moses J Moseley, who starred in The Walking Dead, died from a gunshot wound to the head, a US coroner has ruled.
The actor, 31, died in January, although few details were revealed about how.
But according to his death certificate, seen by TMZ, the actor died of a gunshot wound to the head, although the coroner is yet to establish whether his death was accidental or suicide.
The autopsy report was released on Monday by Henry County, Georgia. In it, examining doctor Rachel Geller reportedly wrote: “At the time this report is issued, the information available does not establish suicidal intent.
“If more information becomes available, this case may be revisited.”
