Battled heroin addiction in his youth...damn near killed him 2001.
Some demons you just can't ever run away from. May not be what killed him, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Info starting to emerge...found in hotel room in Colombia. Road crew members have said "it may be drug related,"
Road crew knows...they are usually the ones out scoring dope for the talent.

This reminds me of an experience from way back in the '70's.
A friend called on the phone one night and was unable to contain his excitement.
He said he had met a couple of roadies for Ted Nugent, and had scored some hashish. They apparently gave him suggestions how to best consume it, and he was just itching to try it out.
He broke it out as soon as he arrived. I swear it looked like a blob of gunk someone had scraped off a garage floor. I was teasing and laughing, telling him he got ripped off, he had to hit it first, and so on.
We smoked some per the recommendation, and 20 minutes later, I was singing his praises! Talk about being stoned to the bone... whew!
Hash won't kill you...opiates and benzos on the other hand...
Autopsy came out, his heart was twice the size of a normal man his age/weight.
Just such a waste of a human life. I feel most for his wife and kids.
And Keith Richards still walks the earth...
