Questions have been answered in the premature death of Hayley McNeff.
On August 8, tragedy struck the McNeff family as Hayley, a lifelong athlete and impressive bodybuilder, suddenly passed away at age 37. At the time, her father Dave reflected on the “beam of light” she was in a conversation with People:
“Hayley was like a beam of light in this world. She had boundless energy and was very determined to achieve whatever she set out to do. She set her sights on bodybuilding and fitness and achieved the highest success that sector offered. She loved us and we love Hayley very much, we miss her madly.”

At the time, her cause of death was unclear but her official obituary, shared by Boston.com, assured it was “unexpected but peaceful.” Fast forward three months, and we now know exactly what happened.
On Monday, Brenna Galvin, Deputy Director of Communications for Massachusetts’s Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, told People the fitness influencer died from acute intoxication from the combined effects of several drugs, including cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, 4-ANPP, and norbuprenorphine. According to Galvin, Hayley’s death was ruled an accident.
What a complete tragedy.
Her obituary detailed what an active life Hayley led:
“Hayley graduated from Concord-Carlisle High School and the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelor of Arts degree. A lifelong athlete, she excelled as an accomplished equestrian, a talented board diver and skier as a youth and young adult. As an adult, she discovered a passion for bodybuilding and was the US Bodybuilding Champion during her career. She later pursued graduate studies in psychology, driven by a desire to better understand and help others.”
Our hearts are with her loved ones as they continue to come to grips with her passing. Rest in peace.
