Blake Garrett, Child Actor in ‘How to Eat Fried Worms,’ Died Next to Drug Paraphernalia

Blake Garrett — best known for his role in “How to Eat Fried Worms” — was found unconscious next to his bed in a sober living home…with rolled up dollar bills, a lighter and aluminum foil with burnt residue nearby.

TMZ has obtained the former child actor’s full autopsy report, which describes the scene at the Tulsa residence where he was found dead in February.

The Oklahoma medical examiner previously determined Garrett died of acute fentanyl intoxication and ruled the death an accident…and the autopsy shows the blood alcohol test came back negative.

The autopsy also revealed diffuse swelling in Garrett’s brain…and noted that he had uncomplicated shingles, with lesions in various stages of healing.

As TMZ previously reported… Garrett’s mom, Carol, told us her son was recently diagnosed with shingles — and she thought he might have accidentally overdosed while trying to deal with pain after three years of sobriety.

It seems his worst fears have come true.

Garrett played Plug in the 2006 comedy “How to Eat Fried Worms”… winning a Young Artist Award alongside the film’s young ensemble.

He was only 33 years old.
