| But if someone had wanted to murder him, wouldn’t they have made sure he was dead? Sounds like he died hours after the injury; could have woken up and called for help. |
| I don’t think you can walk around for hours with multiple broken skull fractures so it could have not been hours later. That just seems so odd. |
| Essentially it was 12 hours from 4AM until 4PM that day when the hotel security found him 'cold to the touch'. Plenty of time for a perp to get in and out. |
Yeah, what could possibly be fishy about that?! |
| My neighbor died in a similar way. He took some sort of fall and put himself to bed. By the time I let myself and the police in the next morning (at his family’s request), he was able to wake up and even sort of respond. He died a week later of a brain bleed. |

I don’t know why people keep harping on the drugs as evidence of foul play. They were prescribed by his doctor and the amounts in his blood were consistent with prescribed usage. He wasn’t roofied. He took prescribed medication—probably to help him sleep after he was hyped up for a late night show. Odds seem very likely he got up to pee and fell and hit his head, maybe multiple times because he was on sedatives. Then went back to bed.
It’s a bad idea to take heavy sleeping meds when you are alone, because this is exactly what can happen. |
I have taken prescribed Klonopin in my life and nothing remotely like this has ever happened—nor would it at a therapeutic dose. I just flat-out do not believe that this was something other than a homicide. |
+1 And if he has been on this prescription regimen for any amount of time, his reaction to the medication would have been lessened by a developed natural tolerance. |
We know nothing of the doses nor of the effect they had on him. It's presumptuous to describe these as "heavy." |
That’s BS. Plenty of people take sleep meds and live alone. |
To be consistent with the autopsy, it's more like he got up to use the bathroom and beat himself senseless over the head with a baseball bat, then went back to bed. |
| Even if he had been beaten to the point where he had major skull fractures, wouldn't his face show signs of this? They didn't mention any bruising elsewhere on his body. It all sounds internal. How do you get beaten with a bat (let's say) and not show any outward signs of injury, like bleeding and bruising? This is all very strange. |
Meh, Marriott hotels always had massive security problems. Someone targeted him because they wanted to rob him. They wanted him unconcious so they gave a blow to his head. He died. They did not think that he would die or maybe they did not care. |
He had two black eyes and that was consistently described. |
