No foul play.

The death of comedian Kevin Barnett, who died earlier this week, seemed to some suspicious, or at least worrying. The comedian went on a holiday to Mexico after the first season of his hit show aired and died there, due to unknown causes, which led some, like a commenter on this site, to describe the death as "so sus." In the end, there is no reason for speculation. 

Tijuana's Chief of the Forensic Medical Service said in a statement to E! News that an autopsy was carried out, which determined that the cause of death was: Non Traumatic Hemorrhage, caused by pancreatitis." His body is waiting to be transported back to the States: "at the moment his body is still in facilities of the Forensic Medical Service of Tijuana, waiting to be delivered to his family members who are performing the legal proceedings.”

The U.S. State department also confirmed the news and gave a brief statement: "We offer our sincerest condolences to his family on their loss, and we stand ready to provide all appropriate consular assistance. Out of respect to the family during this difficult time, we have no further comment."

Barnett shared his last post on Instagram not long before he died:
