Cocaine cited in Entwistle's Death LAS VEGAS (AP) - John Entwistle, the 57-year-old bass player for the rock band The Who, died from a heart attack caused by cocaine use, the Clark County coroner said Thursday. Coroner Ron Flud ruled the death accidental and said it was not an overdose. "The heart attack we believe was brought on by the significant amount of cocaine" that was in Entwistle's system at the time of death, he said. The exact amount of the drug remains unknown. "Cocaine is a different animal," Flud said. "It's not like alcohol. There's no way we can put a number on it. You've got a lethal drug on board at the time you have a bad heart. That's a bad combination." ========================== bad heart + cocaine = death... sad, sad, sad
John Entwistle was a great great bass player, one of the greatest of all time. However, nobody should use the devil powder. Someone who has a heart condition and uses cocaine is either an absolute idiot or has a deathwish.
Why on earth would you want to legalize cocaine? It's one of the most destructive drugs out there. I can agree with legalizing pot. I don't think legalizing cocaine would solve any problems whatsoever. I'm interested in hearing why you think that is a good idea, Freak. I'm not trying to stir it up, just curious.
John Entwistle is tied for first in my all-time best bass players list..and together with Steve Harris , is responsible for me taking up the bass.. I was saddened to hear of his death and now I'm further saddened to hear that his stupidity was the reason for it..
I was sad when I heard about the death, now I just feel worse and somehow I'm not exactly ashamed of him, but I feel shame for him - If that makes any sense. The guy's a legend, and I wish he'd been beyond all that. Especially with a heart condition. This just kinds of tarnishes thing in very sad way.
