I don't think we ever had QVC in Canada but then again does anyone even watch any form of home shopping channels anymore?

Old women with shopping addictions still love QVC.  I've watched numerous episodes of Hoarders in which an older lady gets out of control and buys thousands of items off of tv.

What happened? That's sad. He had issues with drugs & alcohol especially in the waning years of his active career in WCW. I saw a video of him in the early 2000's showing up at an Indy event & he was so drunk he couldn't stand up, let alone wrestle. Diamond Dallas Page took him in & cleaned him up over a decade ago.

He had complications from his hip transplant. Three heart attacks. They kept him on life support until the family could gather.

I saw Scott Hall iwrestle at the old Winnipeg Arena in early 1985 during his pre Razor Ramon days. He was this huge dude who looked like a body builder pushing 290 lbs. He wrestled Curt Hennig & defeated him. Most of the crowd had no idea who Hall was. He was all roided up. He really trimmed down when he wrestled as Razor Ramon. I knew about the shooting death in Florida. The guy was reaching for his gun so what was he supposed to do? he was never charged as I think it was viewed as self defense but it took a toll on his life afterward.

WHAT THE ****

So I originally got into Taylor Hawkins back in the Alanis/Jagged Little Pill days. Infectious personality. Never not smiling. This one gets me worse than Tyree. One of those guys from your teens that wasn't all that much older than you and then SPLAT WTAF

Cause of death?

Article seemed to go out of it’s way not to say.

Possible he relapsed ala Phillip Seymour Hoffman but who knows. Could have been a killer bee and it would be just as tragic.

Nobody's saying at this point, and CoD really doesn't matter. We've lost one of the all time greats. Imagine the confidence it takes to be a drummer in Dave Grohl's band....??? The balls on that guy. And he was incredible. If you needed it soft and finesse-y, or full on' wailin', he could give you everything. Fell down a YouTube rabbit hole last night and ended up watching their show from Wembley that they've got posted online. God, I love the Foo....and Hawkins was such a key cog. 

Probably a widow maker that did him in

Foo Fighters Drummer Taylor Hawkins Died With 10 Drugs in His System, Authorities Say

R.I.P.

Colombian authorities say toxicology tests on Taylor Hawkins preliminarily found marijuana, benzodiazepines and opioids.

That's quite a drug cocktail that he had in his system, the rock star life chews and spits out another one
