Richard Meirowitz | Texas lawyer found dead days after daughter’s suicide accidentally overdosed on cocaine

The Texas lawyer who was found dead just two days after his youngest daughter’s funeral died from an accidental cocaine overdose, officials said.
The Dallas County medical examiner’s office ruled Brian Loncar’s official cause of death as “the toxic effect of cocaine,” describing the manner of death as “accidental.”
The 56-year-old’s high blood pressure and heart disease were listed as secondary causes,WFAA reported.

Loncar, a personal injury attorney who appeared in TV commercials across Texas, was found dead on Dec. 4 inside a Rolls Royce parked in front of his law office.

Two days earlier, Loncar buried his youngest daughter, 16-year-old Grace, who committed suicide on Nov. 25.
“A little over a week ago Brian's miracle baby, Grace, took her own life,” his December obituary read. “As a result, Brian's tremendous heart that carried his family and friends gave out too soon. The stress and pain of losing a child was too much for his heart to bear.”

She would tell her family that she could never feel anything,” her own obituary read. “She couldn't feel all the love from everyone around her.”
Loncar’s firm, Loncar & Associates, was founded in 1988, and operates 11 offices across Texas. The lawyer starred in many of the practice’s commercials, well-known clips that billed him as “The Strong Arm.” Read More.......
