JbBunin ohn just

Sad news. Dirty drugs- easiest thing in the world to do. There is no way to know the potency of what one is taking. What a huge loss! RIP.

People would call him a junkie if he hadn't been famous.

Too bad he let his demons get to him

deloreshandy When is someone going to really look into where all this fentanyl is coming from!!! If you’re a drug user get those test strips to see what’s in ur drugs!

Deadly combination

You accidentally do not accidentally over dose has a well educated individual knowing full well illicit drugs can cause DEATH

🥲🥲🥲🥲

Why is the result of his autopsy allowed to be public knowledge? Or anyone else?

Damn

Heroin is now a prescribed drug that has dosage info so he accidentally took too much? SIGN ME UP!!!

can’t feel sympathy for someone who does heroin

If he ingested these drugs, how can this be accidental? The death was self inflicted.

Sounds like a death waiting to happen instead of accidental

BobLonsberry The Fentanyl was manufactured in China and came across the southern border illegally.

This is a profound tragedy. And to those of you who don’t “get it”, this could just as easily happen to someone you know.
