The causes of the death of the Wales Drag-Reina del Vivienne were revealed, two months after his disappearance. As the BBC reports, James Lee Williams, the artist who officiated under this pseudonym, was swept by cardiac arrest due to a ketamine shot.
The young man’s family, who died at the age of 32, wanted to share the circumstances of his death to “raise awareness about the dangers of ketamine consumption and her effects on her body,” said his former agent and friend Simon Jones on Instagram.
“Ketamine consumption increases, especially among young people, and I don’t think the scope of drug dangers is quite discussed,” he added.

His family announces that he will work with the Association of Adferiad Purses in the development of a prevention campaign to tear down the taboo around addiction.
“Ketamine is an extremely dangerous drug that is becoming increasingly common in the United Kingdom,” said Chanel Williams, the deceased’s sister.
“If we can raise awareness (…) and help people who face an addiction to ketamine, then something positive will be taken from this terrible tragedy.”
According to The Guardian, an investigation into the death of Vivienne will be carried out in June. Cheshire police specify that circumstances are not suspicious.
