Drake’s Producer Tay Keith Killed By Kratom Compound Mitragynine

Tay Keith left behind a catalog of hits that defined a generation, but the Memphis producer’s death in June revealed a darker reality behind the scenes. The Nashville Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that the 29-year-old died from a combination of ketamine and mitragynine, the active compound found in kratom, a Southeast Asian plant that’s been quietly reshaping the drug landscape across America. He also had nicotine and ethanol in his system, and medical examiners noted he had mild coronary artery disease, all of which contributed to his fatal overdose.
