Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD


It was just reported on my local news that Tom Petty's autopsy revealed the cause of his death was an "accidental" overdose. When is an overdose not accidental? The report said multiple drugs were found in his system, as is often the case with OD's.

In the case of Prince, decades of stage acrobatics took a toll on the body that mere mortals can’t imagine. Apparently this was the same for Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries. I never saw Petty live, but if his performing style was athletic, then at least part of the blame is on a demanding and aging rock audience that burdens its heroes with the price for eternal youth.
+1 dgarretson,

Couldn’t have said it better. Although, I believe Delores had some mental issues as well.

In the end, I believe if one is doing what they love, when they feel they can’t go on without help, they’ll turn to other things. I get it.

( remember Micheal Jackson...)
