2023 Gold Donors Darkstone Posted March 26, 2022 2023 Gold Donors Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 That's a massive shock! He was performing with the Foo Fighters in a one off show down here in Regional Victoria (Geelong) only a couple of weeks ago! R.I.P.

To not give us the cause def seems it may have been nefarious. Weren't they in the middle of a tour, or had just finished one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Planet Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Colombia's Prosecutor's Office released a statement Saturday saying toxicological tests on urine from Hawkins's body preliminarily found 10 psychoactive substances and medicines, including marijuana, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants and benzodiazepines. It did not provide a cause of death and investigations are continuing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auslander Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 He has spoken of his drug issues in the past. I believe he also had overdosed a while back. Sad that it eventually got him. I feel most sorry for his family who must be devastated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Little Pony KarpetRydOFunk Posted March 27, 2022 My Little Pony Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Reading some comments on Reddit: a few people are saying, apart from the cannabis, everything else found in his system is part of their daily prescription. So I'm interested in the amounts consumed, and maybe if alcohol contributed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 So sad, heavy heart to his family and the band, this guy was a tremendous drummer, probably one of the most well-known (mainstream-wise) in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
