No one is "recovered." It's called "recovering" -- notice the present tense -- for a reason. It's a lifelong struggle to the grave.

That is so sad, and the opioid crisis is very real and does not discriminate. Tragic.

All the celebs do - Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, Prince...off the top of my head.

try not to speak ill of the dead folks, but yes, a veritable cocktail of powerful drugs were in his system - Its good that we know the truth about that, at least.

This. He could get what he wanted... and even if he wasn't using hard drugs now, he did, and that long term use has long term effects.

It's still sad. RIP.

He was mixing LOTS of drugs. It was just too much of one drug. In 2017 how did he get all of those drugs? He had serious medical issues but no one was looking into all that he was prescribed?

From the article the autopsy found fentanyl, oxycodone, temazepam, alprazolam, citalopram, acetyl fentanyl and despropionyl fentanyl in his body.

Eerily similar to Prince, who was also taking fentanyl for hip issues.

Prescribed for real pain (broken hip), and yet it still killed him. We need to look hard at what drugs and how these drugs are prescribed. It seems pretty clear to me that fentanyl is too easy to overdose on.
