So It Was an Accident

Everyone pretty much knew it already, but DJ AM's death last month has been officially called an accidental drug overdose according to some guy who inspects dead bodies for a living. And someone like that would never lie. AP reports:

DJ AM died accidentally from a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs and cocaine, the medical examiner's office ruled Tuesday.

The toxicology report showed the 36-year-old had in his system cocaine, OxyContin, Hydrocodone or Vicodin, antianxiety drugs Xanax and Ativan, Klonopin which also controls anger, Benadryl, and Levamisole, a drug apparently used to cut cocaine.

The cause of death was acute intoxication due to the combined effects the drugs, the medical examiner's office said. The dosage of each drug was not released.

Somewhere around taking the 13th different kind of drug, you would think he might possibly consider that it's a bad idea. Apparently not. If a plane I'm on ever goes down, I hope I just die in the fiery crash, not a year later like DJ AM.
