A week before Garrett’s tragic death, he was rushed to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with shingles, his mom, Carol, previously told the outlet.

At the time, the matriarch feared her son’s death might have been accidental, speculating that he might have been self-medicating.

The CDC defines shingles as a “painful rash,” which is “caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox.”
