Lindsey Pearlman’s cause of death has been revealed following an autopsy.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner ruled the “Empire” actress’ death a suicide caused by sodium nitrite toxicity, according to a report obtained by People Monday.

The report also noted that “the presence of non-toxic levels of lorazepam, metoclopramide and codeine” were found in her system.

Pearlman, who played Patti Sharp in one episode of the Fox musical drama, went missing on Feb. 16 and was found dead inside a vehicle near the entrance of Runyon Canyon Park in LA two days later. She was 43.

An initial autopsy came back inconclusive, with a spokeswoman for the coroner telling The Post that a cause of death would only be realized with further testing.

After police found her body, Pearlman’s husband, Vance Smith, said he was “broken.”

“She’s gone,” Smith wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. “I’m broken.”

Pearlman’s cousin Savannah Pearlman also said she was “deeply sad” while confirming the Chicago native’s death on Twitter, adding that Lindsey was discovered “too late” to be saved.

Meanwhile, a rep for the actress and animal rights advocate, who also had a recurring role on ABC’s “General Hospital,” said relatives did not want to discuss her death publicly.

“We are deeply saddened by Lindsey Pearlman’s passing today,” the statement read. “The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time while they process and grieve.”
