Los Angeles County coroner’s officials confirmed on May 14 that the death of the half-sister of actress Julia Roberts was a suicide, and listed the cause of her death as drowning and the combined effects of multiple drugs.
Nancy Motes, 37, was found dead about 2:15 p.m. on Feb. 9 at a home in the 1000 block of North Bundy Drive in Brentwood, where she was house- and dog-sitting.
Her body was found submerged in a bathtub, said Coroner’s chief Craig Harvey.
“The death was a suicide,” Harvey said.
The final Coroner’s report may be available within a couple of weeks, he said.
