In a heartbreaking twist, actor Blake Garrett—best known for his role as Plug in How to Eat Fried Worms—died at 33 from acute fentanyl toxicity, found unresponsive in his Tulsa sober living room with drug paraphernalia. Toxicology confirmed lethal fentanyl levels, while swelling and shingles in his system pointed to a painful, possibly self-medicated decline. His mom revealed he’d been hospitalized just a week prior for shingles-related agony, hinting at a desperate turn toward drugs despite three years of sobriety. Once a child star with early theater and even a Barney tour, Garrett later embraced football and simple joys—until his final, tragic hours.
