The death of Georgia dad Nathan Millard has been ruled an accidental overdose – due to the combined effects of cocaine, fentanyl and ethanol found in his system.

Autopsy results released Tuesday found no evidence of internal or external trauma after Millard, 42, was discovered wrapped in plastic, rolled up in a carpet and dumped in a vacant lot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The presence of ethanol in his body suggested that he had been drinking before his death, according to WBRZ.

“Our thoughts and prayers are extended to Mr. Millard’s family and friends,” East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner Dr. William “Beau” Clark told Fox 5 Atlanta in a statement.

Last week, an arrest warrant revealed that Millard was allegedly with two prostitutes — identified as Tabbetha Barner and Tiffany Guidry — when he died in a dilapidated drug house.

Guidry, who was wanted on suspicion of unlawful disposal of human remains, prostitution and failure to seek assistance, was arrested Friday.

Police are still searching for Barner, who is wanted on suspicion of prostitution and failure to seek assistance.

Millard, who was in Baton Rouge to stake out a prospective gig for his construction company, was reported missing on Feb. 23 and his body was discovered two weeks later.

Alleged drug dealer Derrick “Stanka” Perkins, 45, has been charged with improperly disposing of Millard’s body in the lot along Scenic Highway.

He told investigators he had picked up Millard and two other people who were seeking drugs on Feb. 23 and that they drove around in his car for hours “getting high” on crack cocaine, WBRZ previously reported.

The suspect claimed Millard told him he wanted “white girls,” so they picked up the two women, who allegedly began shooting up drugs with the Georgia man at a home on Lorri Burgess Avenue.

Perkins also allegedly used Millard’s debit card to buy miscellaneous items before he smoked crack while waiting for the three to finish having sex.

He claimed Barner tried to use Narcan — a drug used to reverse overdoses — on Millard before the group tried unsuccessfully to revive him with CPR before dumping the body.

Millard’s wife, Amber, reportedly received a phone call on March 6 that he was possibly given “bad drugs” in an alleged scheme by Perkins to claim a reward for finding the remains.

He is survived by Amber, their 7-year-old daughter, two teenage sons from a previous marriage and two teenage stepsons.
