| _Griphin_ User Info... | On this day... In 1994 Kur(d)t Cobain died of an (apparent) self inflicted gunshot wound. BUT on April 19, 2002, an unidentified person placed a call with 911 to say "She hadn't heard from [. . .] victim Staley in about two weeks" Layne Staley was found dead in his home after "his mother and stepfather went to his condo with the police". As reported by Rick Anderson of the Seattle Weekly, his body was surrounded by various drug possessions and paraphernalia: "When police kicked in the door to Layne Staley's University District apartment on April 19, there, on a couch, lit by a flickering TV, next to several spray-paint cans on the floor, not far from a small stash of cocaine, near two crack pipes on the coffee table, reposed the remains of the rock musician." He was 34 years old. The autopsy report later concluded that Staley died after injecting a mixture of heroin and cocaine known as a "speedball". By coincidence, the coroner's office estimated that Staley had died on April 5, the same date that fellow Seattle grunge rocker Kurt Cobain was estimated to have died eight years earlier. - Thu, 5 Apr 2007 10:40am Edited: Thu, 5 Apr 2007 10:44am | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | Crack sucks, but speedball kills. Such a waste. Speedball killed a friend of mine once. He was only 19. DONT DO SPEEDBALL. It can kill first time. - Thu, 5 Apr 2007 3:06pm | ||
