Link. Not shocking at all. He was the one who found Layne after he OD'd and on Celebrity Rehab he was a mess. R.I.P. Stay off drugs, kids.
RIP Drugs are a crazy thing... According to TMZ http://www.tmz.com/2011/03/09/mike-starr-mixing-drugs-roomate-methadone-anxiety-medication/
Wow, that's horrible. I saw him on that rehab show and he was just a total mess. Of course, Dr Drew didn't help him at all since his solution was to have everyone sit around and talk about their feelings all day. He never seemed to get over Staley's death. Probably blamed himself for it. Maybe now he'll finally get some peace.
Actually for a while he was much better. He appeared on the recent version of celebrity rehab, and was a totally different guy. He was way more together and sober at that time. It's just sad that it didn't last.
