The truth regarding the tragic passing of ABC producer, Dax Tejera, has finally been brought to light. What was at first characterized as a heart attack has been found to be a blatant misrepresentation of facts.
Dax died as a result of alcohol intoxication while dining with his wife and friends. To make matters worse, Dax's children were left alone during this whole ordeal, while their mother monitored them via webcam.
According to reports made via the New York Post, alcohol was the main contributing factor in Dax's death.
The 37-year-old producer, known for his work on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, was dining with his wife prior to the incident.
Shortly after their arrival, a staff member noticed that Dax appeared to be out of sorts, which prompted their server to check on him.
After shaking him off, the clearly intoxicated Tejera got up from the table and made his way toward the restroom.
Realizing that something was awry, the server made sure to follow Dax in order to ensure that he was alright.
Employees and onlookers rushed to his side and alerted medical professionals as quickly as possible.
Shortly after Dax was pronounced dead, his wife was arrested on-site. It turns out that she and Dax had left their two young children alone in their hotel room.
However, Dax's widow, Veronica, insists that she was, in fact, monitoring her two children the entire time.
The children in question were a five-month-old infant and a two-year-old toddler.
Veronica said in a statement:
"The hotel would not allow my friend in and instead called the NYPD."
Whether this was a case of misinformation or a blatant attempt to sweep the truth under the rug remains uncertain.
The promising young talent began working as a senior producer and joined Stephanopoulos' show in early February 2020.
He later attended Columbia University and excelled after being accepted to their school of Journalism.
Dax's legacy lives on through his colleagues at ABC, and his memory will never be forgotten by friends and family members who knew him best.
