Cause of death is official ...

This is so sad ... Cry
 
Alice in Chains' Layne Staley died from a mixture of heroin and cocaine, an autopsy and toxicology report revealed Monday.
 
Laboratory results determined the singer died April 5, according to a spokesperson for the King County medical examiner's office, the same day fellow grunge pioneer Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994. Staley was found dead two weeks later, surrounded by intravenous drug paraphernalia in his Seattle apartment (see "Layne Staley, Alice In Chains Singer, Dead At 34").
 
The death certificate reads Staley's death resulted from "an acute intoxication due to the combined effects of opiate (heroin) and cocaine." The death was classified as "accidental."
 
The lethal combination goes by the name "speedball" in drug circles. The same ingredients contributed to the deaths of comedian John Belushi in 1982 and actor River Phoenix in 1993.

"accidental"...i really wonder about this knowing the damage that speedballs can do and that he died on the anniversary of kurt's suicide.   Undecided
 
this is so sad...addiction is such a gross disease...the combination of psychological and physical effects that drugs have on the body...not only that but the denomization of drug users by the media and culture.  ahhhhh!  icky poo!
 
i am with mags, i will be keeping his family and friends in my prayers.
 
peace...
