Dex Carvey dead at 32: Wayne's World star Dana Carvey and wife Paula say their son 'died of an accidental drug overdose' … and they 'will miss him forever'

Dana Carvey’s son, comedian Dex Carvey, has died at the age of 32.

The SNL alum, 68, and his wife Paula said in a statement on Instagram Thursday, ‘Last night we suffered a terrible tragedy. Our beloved son, Dex, died of an accidental drug overdose. He was 32 years old.’ 

Dex died Wednesday evening at his home in Los Angeles, as his girlfriend called emergency services around 10 p.m., police sources told TMZ Thursday.

Dex ‘was locked in a bathroom,’ law enforcement told the outlet, and ‘was unresponsive upon discovery.’

Police sources told TMZ that paramedics had attempted to revive Dex, who was subsequently ‘pronounced dead on the scene.’

An autopsy on Dex has been performed, but authorities have not determined his cause of death, as they’re waiting on the results from toxicology tests.

Dana Carvey was seen earlier this year at a Chris Rock show in LA
