> > > OK everyone, I may be going off on a tangent, but i'm just curious. . .some of the great rock stars of the 70s, e.g. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, etc. supposedly died of "drug overdoses.", but it probably went a lot deeper than that. Elvis died because he apparently had a whole witches' brew of drugs in his bloodstream. Actor River Phoenix collapsed and died on the sidewalk in L.A. from a lethal mix of drugs. Does anyone know what each of these celebs (I'm especially curious about River Phoenix) were taking and combining in their bodies? Dr. Bob should give some sort of Trivia Award to the person who knows.

Chlorpheniramine, meperidine, morphine (byproduct of codeine) and Valium were also found in his system, but not at lethal levels.

There are actual copies of their death certs on the net (on various sites)
