Celebrity death that bummed you out the most...

However, an autopsy found "cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of heart disease," the official cause of death.

What bullshit. If it was an overdose or if he was high at the time of death, that's one thing. But trace amounts? Who cares?

What are they going to say when they do mine? "Traces of cheeseburgers were found in his system. Cheeseburger use caused or contributed to the development of heart disease".

There may be 'teachable moments' in celebrity deaths. But invading privacy in order to stretch the facts is wrong.

Absolutely.

Now, now. He is basically a de facto public figure. You know the rules of our media. Anything goes if you live in the eye of the public, and even if you don't.
