Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had 10 different substances in his system when he died, Colombia's attorney general said Saturday in a statement. Hawkins, 50, was found dead in his hotel room in Bogotá on Friday night, shortly before the band was set to perform in the capital city.
Among the drugs found by a urine toxicological test performed by officials were marijuana, opioids, antidepressants and benzodiazepines, the statement said. An exact cause of death was not announced, and the National Institute of Forensic Medicine continues to investigate, the attorney general said.
The band said in a statement Friday that Hawkins' death was a "tragic and untimely loss."

Guy always had a smile on his face. Seemed to be the kind of guy who always to please people, but at the cost of his own happiness. You see that a lot in show business.
Yep, figured he wanted some of the good Bolivian coke and pot. Hope it was worth it.
I think the band would be better if all the members were replaced and didn't play any of their songs, but that's just me :)
Probably not. People can rationalize almost anything.
That’s really uncalled for
He had his wife and kids with him
You want everyone you disagree with to die.....that’s absurd
Sometimes this forum I wonder what people are really like
I’m too old to really be a fan but I think I’ve seen him sing their led zeppllin covers and he acquitted himself well
He was complaining of chest discomfort before
It’s north bogota and around 9000-9500 feet
That exacerbates this stuff
Empathy costs you nothing and on judgement day you might be remembered for it
Not exactly true.....they are frequently prescribed together
The guy had heart disease
He’d complained of chest pains
I know I know
Wardaddy headlines are good enough
He had heart disease
I’d always though they were brothers till a few years ago
He obviously was having a heart attack
His complaints of chest pain and breathing
Bogota altitude can help with that
Shame he didn’t get to the hospital first symptoms ....north bogota has a decent hospital ...university of the Lily there has a heart institute and one of the best south of Miami
He had heart disease
No signs of cocaine in his toxology and he’d been complaining of chest pain prior
Dusting off Glen Miller again tonight are we?
He did seem that way. But I can’t say I liked his voice. Reminded me of Roger Taylor - as much as he wanted to sing his place was behind the drum kit, not holding a microphone.
My dad was all in on miller and Dorsey and mantovani
And Lawrence well
And the Opry and the Outlaw sounds early 70s
Mom was Elvis and little Richard and the Killer and Buddy
She also loved Rod Stewart and Willie and Neil diamond
And the moody blues and Beatles soft songs
Miller was before my time, I was old enough to look forward to and watch the Beatles on Ed Sullivan though and realize that I was watching something epic, even at the time.
Do you know this to be true?
The news today points to heart failure but there's nothing here that says heart disease.
Due to scar tissue (which screams, MYOCARDITIS), the heart weighed twice the normal weight.
Re: Dave Grohl

Dave Grohl on solo drums for Smells Like Teen Spirit in 2021 (with backup track of the original guitar, bass and vocals ...good sound quality)
