🕊️ Tay Keith's Cause of Death Revealed — Overdose, Autopsy Finds Ketamine and Kratom Compound

The cause of death for Grammy-nominated hip-hop producer Tay Keith has been revealed. The Nashville Medical Examiner's Office determined the 29-year-old — born Brytavious Lakeith Chambers — died from the toxic effects of drugs, an overdose. The autopsy found ketamine and mitragynine, a compound found in kratom, in his system, first reported by TMZ via Hot 97.

Keith was found dead in June 2026 in his Nashville apartment after police performed a welfare check. Authorities said at the time that no foul play was suspected, and his death remained unclassified pending the autopsy results. The new findings provide the clearest public account yet of what happened, though the report does not detail how either substance entered his system.

The Memphis native was one of the defining producers of his generation. His credits include Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode," Drake's "Nonstop," BlocBoy JB's "Look Alive" featuring Drake, Sexyy Red's "Pound Town," and Drake & 21 Savage's "Rich Flex" — a run that earned him Grammy nominations and a string of chart-topping records.
