Doesn't anyone NOT use drugs these days?

(CNN) -- An autopsy report issued Friday by Hillsborough County, Florida, cites cocaine as a contributing factor in the death of TV pitchman Billy Mays, who died in June at age 50.
The Hillsborough County medical examiner's office said cocaine use contributed to Billy Mays' heart disease.

"Mays died from a lethal arrhythmia of the heart caused by hypertensive and arteriosclerotic heart disease," the county said in a statement attributed to Dr. Leszek Chrostowski, the associate medical examiner who conducted the autopsy.

"He further concluded that cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of his heart disease, and therefore contributed to his death," it added.

How sad, and stupid of him. It seems like everyone believes that it is okay for them to use drugs, that it only hurts "others." Guess what, folks, chemicals do not care how large your ego is, or how high or low your self esteem or net worth are. Abusing drugs can kill you - yes, you.

I have lost respect for him. I always found him annoying, but his energy and enthusiasm admirable. No more.

I may be wrong but didn't Michael Jackson die a few days before Billy Mays? Why are the toxocology results in on BM and not MJ? I am wondering if we will ever know the drugs that were in MJ's body.

I am guessing different crime labs in different states (California versus Florida) have different timelines, and there are more "interested parties" involved in MJ's case that would try to keep things from the media as well. Probably lawyers swarming thicker than bees around a clover patch.

I believe the results for MJ are in, but the police in LA are waiting to release them until they complete their investigation regarding his death. There may be charges filed against the doctor.

Well, not exactly released - results have been leaked would be more like it

I guess I'm surprised there weren't more drugs in his system.

I've had Diprovan - when I had surgery in March. The anesthesiologist said it would make me wake up with a smile on my face

And he was correct. Mixed with Fentanyl and Versed makes it even better.
