HUNTLEIGH • The 27-year-old woman found dead in the bedroom of former Anheuser-Busch chief executive August Busch IV died from an accidental overdose of oxycodone, the St. Louis County medical examiner said today.

Dr. Mary Case, the medical examiner, said in a one-paragraph statement released today that lethal levels of the painkiller oxycodone caused Adrienne Martin's death on Dec. 19. Sources say she was also found to have cocaine in her system, but Case's statement does not say what role, if any, that played in the death.

"That's all we're prepared to say...that this is the cause and manner of death," said Suzanne McCune, the medical examiner's forensic administrator.

The information has been turned over to Robert McCulloch, the St. Louis County prosecutor investigating the case. Don Schneider, the prosecutor's spokesman, said "it's an ongoing investigation, we hope to have something to say in the very near future."
