US chess grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky had a mix of dangerous drugs in his system at the time of his mysterious death last year, according to a medical examiner’s report.
The report obtained by The Post on Tuesday indicates Naroditsky, 29, had ingested methamphetamine and Amphetamine before his October death in his North Carolina home. Mitragynine, the active ingredient in kratom, known for its opioid-like effects were also part of the cocktail of drugs in the chess prodigy’s system.
Naroditsky additionally had a small amount of 7-Hydroxymitragynine — which is also often found in kratom — in his system, according to the report.

The 29-year chess ace was found by a fellow grandmaster, Oleksandr Bortnyk, after he didn’t hear from him.
Authorities were investigating the death as a possible suicide or drug overdose, local police said back in October.
Naroditsky was remembered by loved ones as a “talented chess player, commentator, and educator, and a cherished member of the chess member community.”
