The death of former Mater Dei and USC water polo player Jon Walters has been ruled accidental due to complications of taking alprazolam, also known as Xanax, and alcohol, the O.C. Coroner department said Tuesday.
Walters, 19, a former Orange County player of the year and U.S. national team hopeful, died Jan. 8 at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana.
The complications of the drugs led to multisystem organ failure with aspiration pneumonia, said Mitch Sigal, supervising deputy coroner.
