| | Natural causes brought on by consumption of massive amounts of cocaine. The man was going through ounces per week. Too bad, because he did have talent. | | | |

| | Its hard to feel sorry for a guy who did time for burning and assaulting various women and threw the rest of his life away snorting pounds of coke. He was lucky to make it to 56. | | | |

| | Via Reuters...just came across the wire. Died of a heart attack in his sleep most likely because he had nine, yes NINE, drugs in his system at the time of death. | |
