Tiani Warden, one of Gary Busey's ex-wives, has died.
The office of Busey's publicist confirmed the news to local outlet KLTV.
According to TMZ, Warden, 52, was arrested on Nov. 3, 2019, for public intoxication and booked. On Nov. 4, 2019, she was found unresponsive in her cell at Hunt County Detention Center.
Per the outlet, citing the Dallas County Medical Examiner, the cause of death was listed as an "accident." She reportedly died from the toxic effects of cocaine -- and chronic ethanolism likely contributed to her death -- according to TMZ, citing the medical examiner. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
“On November 4th, 2019 at approximately 2:30 p.m. Ms. Warden was found unresponsive in her cell," a press release obtained by KLTV stated. “The detention officers and medical staff on duty immediately began life-saving measures until AMR arrived on scene and took over. Ms. Warden was transported by AMR to Hunt Regional Medical Center continuing life-saving measures during transport.”
