Shaha Mishaal Adham, 26, turned herself in then was released after her lawyer provided enough evidence showing that Ruffalo allegedly died from playing Russian roulette. L.A. County Coroner spokesman Ed Winter reported to PEOPLE that Ruffalo’s toxicology results showed very slight traces of cocaine, alcohol and morphine in his system at the time of his death; however the morphine could have been used for medicinal purposes. Ruffalo’s death is still assumed to be a homicide due to the very small amount of drugs found. The case is still being investigated.
