As for Taylor Hawkins, I have never seen LSD checked on a drug screen; it is almost impossible to detect. Admittedly I am used to urine screens, and this was blood, but if any reader is familiar with LSD being tested in serum, please let me know so I don't incorrectly call shenanigans.

Forget the benzoes and pot, those don't kill anybody unless they choke on them (or maybe if you drown in a bathtub on them). There is no test for "antidepressants," that was a test for tricyclic compounds (which included the older generation of antidepressants). False positives are notorious in those.

Opiates can of course kill through respiratory depression. Somebody dying of an opiate overdose is not going to be able to make an intelligible emergency call.

Cocaine could have killed him and would have been far more likely to if he had had cardiomegaly. For once I agree with a newspaper, his enlarged heart almost certainly played some role in his death. Focus on that.
