Hallmark star Jack Wagner’s son, Harrison Wagner, was found dead on Monday, June 6. Harrison was only 27. The medical examiner’s most recent report has left more questions surrounding Harrison’s cause of death.

The Autopsy Did Not Reveal a Cause of Death

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office told People that Harrison Wagner’s “cause of death is deferred.”

The coroner’s office continued, noting in a statement: “Deferred means that after an autopsy, a cause of death has not been determined and the medical examiner is requesting more investigation into the death, including additional studies… Once the tests/studies come back, the doctor evaluates the case again and makes the cause of death determination.”

According to a Los Angeles County case report, Harrison Wagner was found dead on Monday, June 6, in a parking lot. He was 27 years old. The Sun reported that Harrison was pronounced dead at 5:14 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County medical examiner.

Harrison Wagner had worked as a music producer and a DJ in Los Angeles, Soaps in Depth shared.

In 2016, Harrison went missing for five days, The Wrap reported. At the time, Harrison was 21. Jack Wagner shared publicly that his son had suffered a relapse related to substance abuse and was found five days after he disappeared. Wagner also revealed that he had struggled with similar issues when he was younger.

Before his son returned, Wagner had tweeted, “I fear for my youngest son’s safety. Harrison has struggled w drugs & alcohol just as I did when I was younger. He’s relapsed & is MIA 5days.”

Wagner later said in a tweet, “Harrison’s been in touch, he’s 21 & in charge of his life. ty for the lv & prayers, please continue to share your struggles, it helps us all.”

Officials have not shared any speculations about what might have caused Harrison’s death.
