Tragic News: Death of Josie Harris

The cause of death of Floyd Mayweather’s ex-partner Josie Harris has been unveiled as an unintentional overdose involving Fentanyl and Xanax.

Official records from The Los Angeles Medical Examiner-Coroner indicated that the 40-year-old Josie succumbed to “MIXED DRUG TOXICITY (FENTANYL, ALPRAZOLAM).”

 Alprazolam, also known as Xanax, is an anti-anxiety medication.

Josie’s passing has been ruled accidental, with no indications of any intention to end her life.

The mother of three was found deceased in her car, parked outside her residence in Valencia, California. Authorities reported that one of her children discovered her unresponsive in the vehicle in front of their property back in March.

Following her demise, Floyd Mayweather paid tribute to the mother of his three children through throwback photos shared on his social media, captioning them “My baby” and “sunshine.” 

Mayweather faced criticism for his posts about Josie, given reports of their impending court appearance later in the year.

Josie Harris had reportedly filed a $20 million lawsuit against Floyd, alleging that he had falsely portrayed her in an interview with Katie Couric years prior.

In the interview, Mayweather claimed that Harris was under the influence of drugs during a domestic violence incident in 2010. 

In her lawsuit, Harris accused Mayweather of deceit and asserted that the evidence proved he had severely mistreated her. At a certain point in the case, an appellate court endorsed her claim by allowing the case to proceed.

The appellate court’s ruling stated, “Since this evidence is unequivocally at odds with the assertion that Mayweather was simply restraining a drug-addled Harris by only twisting her arm, it may reasonably be inferred that Mayweather acted with malice or reckless disregard of the truth during the Couric interview.”
