And too young.
Did he simply fall asleep in the hot tub? Very strange.

According to what I read in People, from my understanding he had a heart attack while in the tub.

Cause of death via autopsy is on hold pending toxicology reports.

His comedic timing was spot on. He was so good on friends and seemed like a genuine good guy but with very real demons he struggled with for most of his life. It's too bad as he is gone far too young. I don't think anyone will be surprised by the toxicology reports when they are released.

I'll bet relapse.

I absolutely do not believe that his death was caused by a "relapse."

I find great credibility in physicians who opine that the lengthy pickle ball exertion, combined with the immediate heat of the tub, could cause cardiac arrest to a heart compromised longterm by drugs, alcohol and heavy smoking.

I will believe this until an official toxicology report shows otherwise.

I also believe what you're saying @THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes . This had nothing to do with a relapse.

@THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes I agree with you! And until we know, there is no use in speculating.

I'm reminded of Andy Gibb, who (if I remember correctly) died young of a heart issue caused by drug addiction--and he had been sober for awhile.

Am very sad for this loss--but almost think it was drug related as there were prescriptions in the house---why go into anything with alot of water and risk falling asleep due to drugs and drown?? Especially if the drugs make you want to sleep?? and then he was alone too, so no one to save him. Sad, very sad!

@THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes I 100% agree with you. From everything I've read he was obsessed with Pickleball and played for two hours prior to the incident. That coupled with the heat of the hot tub was enough to bring on his untimely death.

Let's not jump to conclusions until we know conclusively what happened. I hope he's at peace wherever he is. He certainly was a sweet, funny guy who brough us all a lot of joy. I'd like to remember him that way.
