They’ve announced the cause of death as a probable drug over dose. Back in his hotel room they claim to have found a PDR’s worth of drugs ranging among antidepressants, heroin, pot, and a ‘cocaine looking powder.’ Naturally, an actual cause of death will have to wait till a proper post mortem.
I've listened to this song scores of times, but I never really heard the words of that last verse. Damn !
Colombia seems to be more on the ball with autopsies than we are. Had Taylor Hawkins died here in the US, the autopsy might have waited til next week or so. “Investigators concluded the rocker suffered "cardiovascular collapse" after overdosing on heroin and a cocktail of other substances, local media reported.” https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/celebrities/18072724/taylor-hawkins-heart-double-size-drugs-binge/ They also mentioned an enlarged heart roughly double the normal average size for a man of his size and age.
I like the idea that there is a sizing system for hearts. "Excuse me, I was wondering what the exact size conversion to the European system is. I'm a size 7; is that something like a 40?"

Schindler's typist, Mimi Reinhard, has died at the age of 107. She was one of the women who were re-routed to Auschwitz and later rescued when the Schindlerjuden had to be moved. A hundred and seven, died in Israel. How's that for a "Fuck you" to Himmler and all his ilk?
Yeah I posted this under Henry Patterson, probably confused people. BBC had him as Henry Patterson on their website, but of course he wrote under Higgins.
No worries, plus I forgot to post a photo. Haven't been here in a long time. And not many would recognize his real name.
