Brockie -- a.k.a Oderus Urungus -- was found dead sitting in a chair at home back in March.
A rep for the Virginia medical examiner's office tell us the official cause is acute heroin toxicity ... and the death is being ruled an accident.
Brockie is not the first GWAR member to meet an early demise -- back in 2011 guitarist Cory Smoot died on the band's tour bus from a blood clot in his heart.
Maybe it's time to give Kim Kardashian her props -- because ever since she got Kanye to walk down the aisle in Florence ... the guy has been way more toothy with the paparazzi than we've ever seen before.
Ahh ... that happy newlywed glow. Kinda makes ya wanna puke, right?
EXCLUSIVE
Adrian Peterson watches Lifetime Television ... and he's not ashamed.
Sure, the network may be geared toward women ... but the NFL superstar tells TMZ Sports there's one Lifetime show his girl forced him to watch ... and it actually grew on him.
Don't worry -- it's not the Tori Spelling show.
FYI -- Peterson is out in NYC doing promotional work for EpiPen ... an emergency medical device he actually had to USE back in 2012 when he had a bad allergic reaction to shellfish.

Sources close to the Rebel Alliance tell us the pics were taken inside an uber-secret location in the UK -- where different set pieces, props and creatures are being constructed.
At first glance, it looked like run-of-the-mill set pieces ... until one of our top "Star Wars" nerds in the office spotted the legendary Millennium Falcon in mid-construction -- at least that's how it looks.
It also looks like they're building an X-wing.
Enjoy these pictures, you will -- but have to ask, we still do ...
EXCLUSIVE
Brett Nichols ... who's just 17 ... stole the show at his high school's talent show last month, and even caught the eye of the Jackson family, who flew him out to Las Vegas to catch a performance of Michael Jackson ONE.
Now Nichols tells TMZ he's working on a new video, "Smooth Criminal," and has plans to do "Thriller" at some point. In the video, you see Nichols rehearsing for his "SC" vid ... but he doesn't do the infamous "lean" like MJ did. He's going to need those special shoes.
Nichols' rep (yes, he has a rep) tells TMZ ... Nichols is hoping to parlay this fame into an acting career and he's already gotten a few casting opportunities.
Hopefully he won't get typecast.
EXCLUSIVE
The rapper was out in NYC on Monday with a few friends when our photog hit him with a barrage of questions about his recent fight with Floyd ... but T.I. insisted things were all good now.
As for why he wouldn't spill any details about the actual fight, T.I. explained, "He may be used to talking after his fights ... where I'm from, we don't talk after ours."
'Nuff said.
