That '70s Show actor Lisa Robin Kelly died of an accidental overdose after "multiple drug intoxication", a coroner has ruled.

Kelly died aged 43 while checked into an alcohol rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles last August.

An autopsy conducted at the time of her death failed to determine what killed her, TMZ reported.

The latest reports did not identify which drugs were found in her system.

Kelly played Laurie Forman on the Fox Network show for five seasons before being replaced due to her drinking problem. The actor had a lengthy history of substance abuse problems.

In August of 2010 Kelly was arrested in North Carolina for driving under the influence.

She entered a guilty plea and got off with a fine and 12 months unsupervised probation.

In 2012, she was arrested again, this time on a felony charge of corporal injury upon a spouse following a complaint filed by her ex-boyfriend, John Michas.

Months later, she was slapped with assault charges against her 61-year-old husband, Robert Joseph Gilliam.

In June last year she was again arrested for driving under the influence.
