The biological father of Eminem’s adopted child Stevie died of a cocaine and fentanyl overdose in August 2019, according to a recently released autopsy report.
Eric Hartter was found dead by his mother in an abandoned house in Detroit, Michigan after years of drug addiction, but the actual cause of his death was not known until recently.
‘Postmortem toxicology disclosed cocaine breakdown products and fentanyl within the blood. The combined use of these drugs increase the risk of sudden death,’ the autopsy report states.
Stevie Laine Mathers, 19, who previously went by Whitney, is the biological daughter of Hartter and Eminem’s ex-wife Kim Scott, 46. Stevie recently came out as non-binary, and uses the pronouns she, he and they.

Her mother, Scott, was rushed to the hospital after a bloody suicide attempt last month at her home in Detroit, Michigan.
The incident came days after Kim’s mom passed away on July 24, 2021.
In a 911 call obtained by The Sun, an unidentified female is heard telling the dispatcher she was checking in on Kim after growing concerned for her safety.
The woman claimed Kim ‘just tried killing herself’ and added: ‘There’s blood everywhere on the bathroom floor.’
‘Do you know if she’s conscious right now ma’am,’ the dispatcher asked, to which she replied, ‘She is, she’s yelling at me not to call the police.’
‘Ok, what did she do, did she have a gun, a knife or something, you said there’s blood?’ he asked.
‘She had the door locked and she wouldn’t let me in. And I kept telling her, ‘I’m coming in, I’m coming in.”
Officers were told there was a possible note left in the nearby bedroom, and they were provided with a small cardboard shipping box covered in ‘haphazard messages’ to her family.
