Shellshock was found dead in his Los Angeles home on 24 June. Three days later, the LA County Medical Examiner confirmed the performer's cause of death was an accidental drug overdose. ”Seth struggled with addiction throughout his life, he did so on a very public platform which was particularly challenging. God knows he tried so hard to beat his demons but sadly he lost his battle.” "Our hearts are shattered by his loss. Seth's larger-than-life presence touched so many. Seth was a troubled soul but he was a beautiful one and he had a heart of gold.” Shellshock's history with substance abuse was no secret, as he had appeared on reality TV shows Celebrity Rehab and Sober House.
