Following an initial report from TMZ, the LA County Coroner’s Office confirmed to Page Six that Sangouthai, 37, died Sunday from a rare flesh-eating disease caused by injections from dirty needles. According to the coroner, the exact term for this type of bacterial skin infection is “necrotizing fasciitis,” which was caused by chronic intravenous drug use.

When it gets very bad it sends the patient into multi-system organ failure. It shuts down the kidneys, liver and kidneys.” Because Sangouthai injected the bacteria directly into his bloodstream, he was faced with a very low chance of surviving. “The only way Jamie could have been saved would have been to cut out the dead tissue so you stop that highway of bacteria from spreading,” said Dr. Rowe. “If someone is using a dirty needle and it’s injected into the vein you’ve allowed the bacteria to enter the bloodstream — once that happens the patient could be dead within a matter of hours.” The New York native — whose struggle with drugs was featured on the E! spinoff “Khloe and Lamar” — went to the hospital for his infected arm, but his condition rapidly deteriorated.
