SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- An autopsy has found that artist Thomas Kinkade's death was caused by an accidental overdose of alcohol and prescription tranquilizers.

I smell a cover-up. I think this guy Kinkade knew too much about Breibart.

It's a joke. There is a nearby thread about Breibart and how the witness to his death has now gone missing. Couple that with with death of a coroner who may have examined Breibart's body -- people sense that anyone who knows too much about Breibart is in danger.

I made a gratuitous and silly leap to include Kinkade in that company, on no basis whatsoever.

Just as suspected. The night before his demise, Mr Kinkade was seen painting the town.

Alcohol and benzos have assisted many a good man to his date with the Lord. Most likely accidental.

His BAC is not specified but must have been sky high.

As for his art, it may have been kitshy but it turned a buck.

No. Perhaps he had a stroke.

I liked Kinkaids paintings a lot, I wish I had one.

RIP Thomas. You should have known better than to mix valium and booze.

‘painting the town’ — you are VERY bad.
