Grammy-Nominated Producer Tay Keith Died From Drug Toxicity, Autopsy Reveals
Grammy-nominated music producer Tay Keith died from the toxic effects of multiple substances, with his death officially classified as an accidental overdose, according to an autopsy report released nearly three months after his death.
The Nashville Office of the Medical Examiner determined that the producer, whose real name was Brytavious Lakeith Chambers, died on June 18, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee.
According to ABC News, the 29-year-old producer had mitragynine, 7-hydroxy mitragynine, mitragynine pseudoindoxyl and ketamine in his system. The medical examiner listed toxicity from the substances as the cause of death and ruled the manner of death accidental.
Keith was found dead inside his Nashville apartment after Metro Nashville Police officers conducted a welfare check.
At the time, police said there were no indications of foul play and that the cause of death would be determined following an autopsy.
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Keith rose to prominence in the American hip-hop industry through collaborations with some of the biggest names in music, including Drake, Travis Scott, Beyoncé and Cardi B.
He produced Drake’s 2018 hit “Look Alive” and earned his first Grammy nomination for Best Rap Song for his work on Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode” at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
Keith received another Grammy nomination in 2024 in the Best Rap Song category for producing “Rich Flex,” performed by Drake and 21 Savage.
His death prompted tributes from several major artists with whom he had worked.
Drake paid tribute to Keith in an Instagram post, expressing appreciation for the producer’s contribution to his music career and mourning his death.
Travis Scott also honoured Keith, saying his absence would be felt and vowing to continue pushing forward while carrying his memory.
Beyond music, Keith maintained strong ties to Middle Tennessee State University, where he earned his degree. Despite achieving significant success in the music industry, he remained committed to completing his education.
Beverly Keel, dean of the university’s Scott Borchetta College of Media and Entertainment, said Keith had promised his mother that he would graduate from college.
Keel said the producer later returned to the institution as an honorary professor and continued supporting students after completing his studies.
Keith’s family described him as a producer, songwriter, entrepreneur and philanthropist whose influence extended beyond the music industry.
In a statement issued through his record label, Drumatized, the family said his legacy would live on through the music he created, the opportunities he helped create for others and the people he inspired.
The newly released autopsy findings formally establish the cause and manner of Keith’s death. Police had previously ruled out suspected foul play while awaiting the medical examiner’s findings.
