Nick, who was a seventh-generation fisherman with a long history of battling drug addiction, died on Dec. 28, 2020, at a Holiday Inn in Nashville, Tenn. He flew there from his home in Reddick, Fla., to meet friends, The Sun reported, following the release of an autopsy report in February 2021.
“This 33-year-old male was found unresponsive in the bathroom of his hotel room,” the report read. “The decedent had a known history of illicit drug abuse.”
The report also noted that there was “drug paraphernalia nearby,” and it concluded that Nick “died as a result of the toxic effects of methamphetamine, cocaine and fentanyl.” Upon arrival, medics tried and failed to revive him using a defibrillator.
Nick reportedly had two children with his longtime girlfriend, Claire Hammond.
In one of his final tweets before overdosing, Nick shared, “Trauma be making me fall asleep randomly. It also wakes me up randomly. Navigate carefully.”
