The seven-member jury deliberated less than two hours before returning the verdict Monday.
An inquest began in November to determine what killed 20-year-old Daniel Smith.

Police have said there is no evidence of homicide. An autopsy found that Daniel likely died from a combination of drugs, including methadone and antidepressants.
