The death of a man pulled from a storm drain this month was ruled an accident by the Clark County coroner’s office.

Leon Tuli Lo, 40, was pulled out of a storm drain near West Bonanza Road and Casino Center Boulevard on Aug. 14 around 2:40 a.m. by the Las Vegas Fire Department, the Review-Journal previously reported. Firefighters believed the man probably was living in the storm drain.

Lo’s death was caused by heroin and meth intoxication, the coroner’s office said Friday.
