In a solemn revelation, the cause of death for Dex Carvey, eldest son of comedian Dana Carvey, was disclosed. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office stated that the 32-year-old succumbed to an accidental overdose due to the toxic effects of fentanyl, ketamine, and cocaine​​.

Dana Carvey, known for his iconic work on "Saturday Night Live" and a repertoire of beloved characters, turned to Instagram to share the news that his son, Dex Carvey, had died on November 17 last year. The same day, he posted an image that showed him with Dex, immersed in their shared love for creativity​​.

The following day, Dana expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from fans and friends.
