Comedian Norm Macdonald‘s
house sitter was found dead in his home.
Michael Huettner,
23, was discovered on a bed surrounded by pill bottles in Macdonald’s Los
Angeles home Thursday while the “Saturday Night Live” alum was
traveling, TMZ reports.
Huettner’s parents
found him after his girlfriend informed them he’d been house- and cat-sitting
for Macdonald. Huettner was a close friend of Macdonald’s son, Dylan, 22.
Investigators saw no
signs of criminal activity and suspect the cause of death to be an overdose of
prescription drugs, including oxycodone, with which Huettner allegedly had
issues in the past.
Some drugs legally prescribed to Macdonald were found at
the scene, though it’s unclear which drugs may have killed Huettner until
toxicology results are released.
Macdonald and Dylan
are said to be fully cooperating with the death investigation. A rep for
Macdonald did not immediately return a request for comment.
