Writer and comedian Kevin Barnett<\/strong>‘s cause of death has been revealed.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, it was\u00a0confirmed that the\u00a0Rel<\/em>\u00a0co-creator had passed away at the age of 32<\/a>. “We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen, Kevin Barnett, in Tijuana on Jan. 22,” a U.S. Department of State official told E! News in a statement.\u00a0“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.”<\/p>\n

Now, the\u00a0Chief of the Forensic Medical Service tells E! News that on Jan. 22 at 5:50 am, a 32-year-old male body\u00a0was\u00a0received, identified as Kevin Michel Barnett, from Avenida Revoluci\u00f3n\u00a0in Tijuana.<\/p>\n

“The corresponding autopsy was carried out, which determined that the cause of death was: Non Traumatic Hemorrhage, caused by pancreatitis,” the statement to E! News reads. “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.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Barnett’s last post on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, shared on Jan. 19, showed\u00a0him in Mexico.<\/p>\n

“In mexico. Bought myself a sweater,” he captioned the post.\u00a0“Been accused of appropriation several times. In my head I just gave a lady some money so I ain’t cold. Either way. Swag heavy. Mixtape comin.”<\/p>\n

Since news of Barnett’s death broke this week, his fans, friends and fellow comedians have taken to social media to mourn his death.<\/p>\n

“i am so sad,”\u00a0Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em>\u00a0star\u00a0Chelsea Peretti<\/strong>\u00a0wrote<\/a>, retweeting a post by The Stand NYC about Barnett’s death.<\/p>\n

“Kevin Barnett was an incredible comedian and writer, contributing to Broad City, the stand-up community and beyond,” Comedy Central\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0Tuesday. “He’ll be greatly missed.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
