Quiet Riot Lead Singer Died Of Cocaine Overdose
Kevin Dubrow, lead singer of 80's metal band Quiet Riot, died of an accidental cocaine overdose according to toxicology reports from his autopsy. This is tragic news, but hardly a shock.
I got a rash of abuse over my post which implied famous people always died of "mysterious" causes when it typically (though NOT always) stems from some sort of nefarious reason. Of course the point of my post was to make reference to how PR people and entertainment execs try to spin every death into something innocent, when 9 times out of 10, it's NOT something innocent. Kevin Dubrow was one of the stories I mentioned in that post. It was not to diminish the sadness or loss of the individuals who died. But you can't help what people choose to think.
Still no word on the other two subjects of that "scandalous" post, but at least one proved to be EXACTLY what I thought: a drug overdose. Color me surprised.
