Celebs en verdachte officiële doodsoorzaak- verklaringen

quote:

Mogelijk is het Edward Mortensen, de tweede echtgenoot van haar moeder. Zijn naam staat op het geboortecertificaat van Norma Jeane. Waarom dan die twijfel? Het is bekend dat Monroe’s moeder rond de tijd van haar conceptie een affaire had met ene Stanley Gifford.

quote:

During the final months of her life, Monroe lived at 12305 Fifth Helena Drive in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Her housekeeper Eunice Murray was staying overnight at the home on the evening of August 5, 1962.[249] Murray awoke at 3:00 a.m. on August 6 and sensed that something was wrong. Although she saw light from under Monroe's bedroom door, she was unable to get a response and found the door locked. Murray then called Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, who arrived at the house shortly after and broke into the bedroom through a window, finding Monroe dead in her bed.[249] She was pronounced dead by her physician, Dr. Hyman Engelberg, who arrived at the house at around 3:50 a.m.[249] At 4:25 a.m., they notified the Los Angeles Police Department.[249]

Monroe had died between 8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on August 5,[250] and the toxicology report revealed that the cause of death was acute barbiturate poisoning. She had 8 mg% (milligrams per 100 milliliters of solution) chloral hydrate and 4.5 mg% of pentobarbital (Nembutal) in her blood, and 13 mg% of pentobarbital in her liver.[251] Empty medicine bottles were found next to her bed.[252] The possibility that Monroe had accidentally overdosed was ruled out because the dosages found in her body were several times over the lethal limit.[253]

quote:

The Los Angeles County Coroners Office was assisted in their investigation by the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Team, who had expert knowledge on suicide.[252] Monroe's doctors stated that she had been "prone to severe fears and frequent depressions" with "abrupt and unpredictable mood changes", and had overdosed several times in the past, possibly intentionally.[253][254] Due to these facts and the lack of any indication of foul play, deputy coroner Thomas Noguchi classified her death as a probable suicide.[255]

quote:

In the following decades, several conspiracy theories, including murder and accidental overdose, have been introduced to contradict suicide as the cause of Monroe's death.[261] The speculation that Monroe had been murdered first gained mainstream attention with the publication of Norman Mailer's Marilyn: A Biography in 1973, and in the following years became widespread enough for the Los Angeles County District Attorney John Van de Kamp to conduct a "threshold investigation" in 1982 to see whether a criminal investigation should be opened.[262] No evidence of foul play was found.[263]

quote:

Uit de autopsie van Monroe's lichaam, waarbij Miner aanwezig was, bleek volgens Miner dat het slachtoffer eerst verdoofd werd door inname van 'Mickey Finn'-pillen. Daarna werden grote hoeveelheden Nembutal het lichaam ingebracht. Miner is van mening dat deze stof in haar dikke darm is gespoten. Hij pleit nu voor een nieuwe autopsie zodat de dikke darm onderzocht kan worden.

quote:

She Wasn't Suicidal'

Matthew Smith paid an undisclosed fee to Miner to use the Monroe transcript in his book, "Marilyn's Last Words: Her Secret Tapes and Mysterious Death."
"The important thing about it was that she wasn't suicidal," Smith said.
Smith dismissed the possibility that the tapes could have caught Monroe on a good day.
"I don't think so," he said. "I don't think it was just a mood swing. She was very upbeat. She was very forward-looking."
Smith found Marilyn's talk of the future very compelling, calling her "level-headed."
"She wasn't up and down," he said. "She was on a plane that marked her out as a smart lady. She knew where she was going. It was definite."
Smith doesn't believe that Monroe killed herself, but he has a theory on who did it -- the CIA.
"Some people believe the Kennedys had to with it; I don't at all," he said. "I believe it was the disenchanted survivors of the Bay of Pigs, the CIA agents."

Chester Bennington's Friend: 'He was Murdered by Elite Pedophiles'

The tragic and suspiciously untimely death of Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has left many unanswered questions about the true nature of his passing.The mainstream media is desperately trying to push the "suicide" narrative whilst accusing anyone who questions this ruling of "spreading vile lies", despite claims from his close friends and family that he was in no way suicidal.His wife Talinda Ann Bentley even posted from her official Twitter account that she has evidence that he was murdered and that his death was made to look like a suicide. "he was already dead before he hung himself, I have proof.."The posts were deleted shortly after without explanation, yet the MSM was quick to declare that her account was "hacked" without a single word of confirmation.

READ MORE: Chester Bennington's Wife: 'My Husband was Murdered and I Have Proof'Now, after living in "fear", fellow musician Chris Keene has come forward saying he can no longer keep his "mouth shut" as he reveals that Mr. Bennington was "murdered" by an Elite "human trafficking and pedophilia ring". © Twitter Chester Bennington's wife posted the claim on Twitter and then later removed it. Mr. Keene admits he had been reluctant to come forward sooner due to the "backlash" he would face over the information he was exposing.In a post on his Facebook page, he reveals that the suicide ruling for both Chester Bennington and his best friend Chris Cornell was a cover up for their murder.He states that both men were killed because they had information about high-level Elites that were connected to child trafficking and pedophile networks.Keene says that Chris Cornell had acquired evidence connecting the Clintons to human trafficking and that several journalists that had been privy to the same information had also died in suspicious circumstances.

READ MORE: Chris Cornell was About to Expose Elite Pedophile Ring Before He DiedHe claims that Cornell had shared this information with his son's Godfather Bennington and that they were killed by "the Illuminati" in a bid to silence them before they could go public. © Facebook Chris Keene says he can no longer keep his 'mouth shut' The statement from Keene says: So I've kept my mouth shut on this for a while due to fear of backlash but f*ck that. I'm letting it all out. Chris and Chester were murdered. I'm not buying this suicide shit for 1 minute. Anyone who knows about Chris and Chester knows they were best friends. Chester was even Chris' sons Godfather. The 2 of them worked together in the Chris and Vickey Cornell foundation who helped prevent the sexual exploitation of vulnerable children. Chris also worked with the Clinton administration on a cpp services out of Haiti that was later found out to be a human trafficking ring. Several journalists who tried to break that story died suddenly. Rumor has it that these men had aquired a list of people in the mainstream media, the government and the acting world who were involved in this human trafficking and pedophilia ring.

Chris apparantly was about to blow the lid on this. Coincidentally shortly after he's found dead. Fast forward to yesterday. In almost the exact same fashion his best friend, Chester Bennington is found dead. The exact same way as Chris was. Something is not adding up here, people. If Chris hung himself then why does his autopsy report show that he had head trauma and 9 cracked ribs. Anyone who knows anything about singing knows that with 9 cracked ribs it would be impossible to perform. Thus making it impossible to have performed the night of his death. These are the signs of a man fighting for his life. The illuminati is real people. Don't let them fool you.The coroner’s office said that a half empty bottle of alcohol was found in the room of his home north west of Los Angeles, but that no drug or suicide note was recovered.A full postmortem examination has yet to be scheduled. As fans of the band around the world have paid tribute to Bennington, the band has canceled a tour that was scheduled to start this week.

quote:

Overlijden
In augustus 2001 zou Aaliyah in Florida een videoclip opnemen voor de single Rock the boat, maar vanwege het slechte weer besloot de regisseur de videoclip op de Bahama's op te nemen. Na afloop van de opnamen stapte Aaliyah in een klein vliegtuig dat haar naar Miami had moeten brengen. Het vliegtuig stortte echter kort na het opstijgen aan het eind van de startbaan neer. Aaliyah en een aantal van haar collega's waren op slag dood. Haar lijfwacht werd nog snel naar het ziekenhuis gebracht maar overleed de volgende ochtend. Ook de piloot overleefde de crash niet.

Na een onderzoek dat ruim een jaar duurde bleek dat de piloot die het vliegtuig bestuurde niet de toestemming en de opleiding had om dit type vliegtuig te besturen. Ook bleek dat de piloot op het moment van het ongeluk alcohol en drugs in zijn lichaam had, en bovendien was het toestel niet geschikt om negen personen te vervoeren en kon het niet vliegen met het gewicht van de bagage die het toestel op dat moment droeg.

Aaliyahs onverwachte dood had een groot effect op haar familie, haar vrienden (onder wie Timbaland en Missy Elliott) en de muziekindustrie. Alom werd Aaliyah geprezen vanwege haar talent. De single Rock the boat werd een postume hit. In 2002 werd een herdenkingssingle, Miss you opgenomen door onder anderen Missy Elliott, Lil' Kim, Toni Braxton en DMX. Het was de bedoeling dat Aaliyah de echtgenote van Harold Perrineau zou spelen in de twee opvolgers van The Matrix. Haar rol werd overgenomen door Nona Gaye. Ook zou ze de hoofdrol vertolken in (het uiteindelijk door Salim Akil geregisseerde) Sparkle. Deze film zou pas in 2012 verschijnen, met Whitney Houston in de hoofdrol.

Aaliyah ligt begraven op de begraafplaats Ferncliff in Hartsdale, nabij New York.

Op 5 augustus 2012 werd op YouTube een nieuwe single met de overleden zangeres gepubliceerd. In Enough Said zingt Aaliyah samen met rapper Drake.

quote:

On Saturday, August 25, 2001, after Aaliyah and the record company employees had completed filming the music video for "Rock the Boat", At 6:50 p.m. (EDT), they boarded a twin-engine Cessna 402B (registration N8097W) at the Marsh Harbour Airport, located on the Abaco Islands, for the return trip back to Opa-locka Airport in Florida.[6] The return flight was originally booked for the following day, but filming had finished early, and Aaliyah and her entourage were eager to return to the U.S. They made the decision to leave immediately. The aircraft designated for the return flight was smaller than the one on which they had originally arrived, but it accommodated the whole party and all of their equipment.[7]

The passengers had grown impatient because the Cessna was supposed to arrive at 4:30 p.m. EDT, but did not arrive until 6:15 p.m. EDT.[2] Charter pilot Lewis Key claimed to have overheard passengers arguing with fellow pilot Luis Morales III prior to take off, adding that Morales warned them that there was too much weight for a "safe flight". Key further stated: "He tried to convince them the plane was overloaded, but they insisted they had chartered the plane and they had to be in Miami Saturday night."[8] Key indicated that Morales gave in to the passengers and that he had trouble starting one of the engines.[9]

The aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff, about 200 feet (60 m) from the runway.[6] Aaliyah and the eight others on board: Morales, hair stylist Eric Foreman, Anthony Dodd, security guard Scott Gallin, family friend Keith Wallace, make-up artist Christopher Maldonado, and Blackground Records employees Douglas Kratz and Gina Smith were all killed.[10] Gallin survived the initial impact and, according to paramedics, spent his last moments worrying about Aaliyah's condition.[11] Kathleen Bergen, spokeswoman for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in Atlanta, identified the aircraft as being owned by Florida-based company Skystream. Initial crash reports identified Luis Morales as "L Marael".[12]

Key suggested that engine failure, along with overloading of the aircraft, could have caused the crash, recalling that others had seen the plane experience an engine failure on takeoff. One witness believed that no one could have survived the accident because of the crash intensity and the fact that the aircraft had disintegrated upon impact. He also recalled the condition of the bodies: "It was an awful sight. Some bodies were so badly disfigured, you couldn't identify them. And two guys were alive — one screaming and screaming for help. He was horribly burned all over."[8] A 25-year-old charter pilot who witnessed the crash saw the Cessna go down as he was working on some machinery "about half a mile" away. He recalled the aircraft being only "60 to 100 feet" off the ground before it crashed. He went to get a fire truck and was stunned by what he saw upon arriving at the crash site. "I've seen crashes before but that was probably one of the worst ones," he said. "It was pretty devastating. The aircraft was broken into pieces and some of the seats were thrown from the aircraft."[13]

The New York Post printed one of the last photographs taken of Aaliyah, but wrongly labeled it as taken before the crash with a fan, Alvin Lightbourne, who wanted it as a souvenir.[14] The photo was in fact taken when Aaliyah arrived to the Bahamas, on Thursday, August 23. She had spoken to the fan for 15 minutes and gave him a hug as well. Lightbourne praised her for a recent donation to a charity and Aaliyah explained: "God blessed me with money and now it's time to give back."[11][15]

Aaliyah spoke a month before her death about her favorite dream: "Someone's following me and I don't know why. I'm scared. Then suddenly I lift off. Far away. As if I'm swimming in the air. Nobody can reach me. Nobody can touch me. It's a wonderful feeling".[16]

Investigation
According to the findings of an inquest conducted by the coroner's office in the Bahamas, Aaliyah suffered from "severe burns and a blow to the head", in addition to severe shock and a weak heart.[17] The coroner theorized that she went into such a state of shock that even if she had survived the crash, her recovery would have been nearly impossible.[18] The bodies, some of them badly burned, were taken to the morgue at Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau, where they remained until relatives made positive identification.[19]

The subsequent investigation determined that when the aircraft attempted to depart, it was over its maximum takeoff weight by 700 pounds (320 kg) and had one more passenger than it was certified to carry.[20] An informational report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board stated, "The airplane was seen lifting off the runway, and then nose down, impacting in a marsh on the south side of the departure end of runway 27."[21] It indicated that the pilot was not approved to fly the aircraft. Morales had falsely obtained his FAA license by showing logs of hundreds of flight hours he had never flown. He may also have falsified the number of hours he had flown to get the job with his employer, Blackhawk International Airways.[22] Additionally, Morales' toxicology report revealed traces of cocaine and alcohol in his system.[23]

The NTSB reported that the maximum allowed gross weight of the aircraft was "substantially exceeded" and that the center of gravity was positioned beyond its rear limit.[24] The U.S. joined the investigation on August 27, 2001, as authorities from the NTSB and the FAA arrived in the Bahamas.[25] On August 31, the day of Aaliyah's funeral, an independent expert of the Cessna Pilots Association reported that the aircraft was overloaded. His statement came as investigators declined to comment on weight being a factor in the crash.[26]

Remains returned to the United States
On August 28, 2001, Aaliyah's remains were transported from the Bahamas back to the U.S. Over 100 people waited outside the funeral home in Nassau as four men lifted her coffin into a hearse. It was then taken to the Nassau airport, where a private jet waited to return the body to Newark International Airport in Newark, New Jersey.[27][28]

A director at the funeral home in Nassau said people started calling in on August 27 to pay their respects. The other victims' bodies were repatriated on August 29. A U.S. Embassy spokesman reported that Virgin Records America paid the cost of all mortuary services in the Bahamas, the return of the bodies to the U.S., as well as the funerals.[29]

Aaliyah's family was staying at the Trump International Hotel when her body was returned. Staff reported flowers and condolences had been sent in steadily since her death. A worker at the reception desk disclosed that at least 500 bouquets, delivered mostly by grieving fans, had arrived for the family in the three days between the crash and the return of her body. Aaliyah's publicist, Jill Fritzo, said the Haughton family was touched by the support they received from fans and reported the condition of the family. "They're hanging in there. It's very tough for them".[30]

Criticism of Blackhawk
Blackhawk International Airways came under scrutiny by the FAA, which reported that the charter service had authorization for limited use of the aircraft to the degree that it was theorized that Morales would normally not have been able to pilot it. In the three years prior to the crash, Blackhawk was cited four times for violations. The company was fined $1,500 in 1998 for violating safety rules in U.S. airspace. It received a warning for not testing employees for drugs in 1999, and was cited in 2000 for failing to comply with maintenance standards.[30] Gilbert Chacon, head of Blackhawk at the time of the crash, pleaded guilty in 1993 to bankruptcy fraud involving another charter service. There was no evidence that Blackhawk managers had prior knowledge of Chacon's background.[2]

Pilot's background
After the crash, revelations came to light concerning Morales' private life, as well as his activities during the final month before the crash. From an early age, Morales had expressed interest in aviation. His grandfather was a commercial pilot who gave him his first flights at age eleven. Morales began formal flight training at age seventeen at the Isla Grande Flying School at Fernando Ribas Dominicci Airport in Isla Grande, San Juan, Puerto Rico. Following the accident, authorities told his relatives not to discuss the case; however, Morales' sister spoke on behalf of the family. "We are confident the investigation is not going to disclose anything that would involve negligence on behalf of my brother. He has vast experience flying planes. He had been doing it since he was 14... They are talking about a person who cannot defend himself."[44]

Morales received his pilot's license in February 2000.[30] His job for Blackhawk was his second attempt to work as a commercial pilot since getting his license.[15] In October 2000, he had been turned down for being too inexperienced after applying to Tropic Air of Fort Lauderdale.[2] Broward County Sheriff’s records showed Morales had been caught with crack cocaine in his car after being pulled over for driving his car through a stop sign on August 7, 2001; he was booked on a felony cocaine-possession charge. He was also charged for driving with a suspended license and running a stop sign. The arrest report stated that Morales told officers he was in the area to purchase powder cocaine for a friend.[45]

The Associated Press, The Palm Beach Post and other news outlets reported allegations that Morales had been sentenced to probation on August 13, 2001, the result of being found with a small amount of cocaine in his car during the traffic stop. Other reports, such as one by The New York Times on September 8, 2001, and another in the Broward County Sun-Sentinel, questioned whether he was qualified to fly the aircraft. Gabriel Penagaricano, a lawyer for the Morales family, dismissed any questions about Morales' flight record as "the words of a fool". He defended Morales as a "young man, totally dedicated to his profession ... [who] had set his sights on flying for one of the major airlines. In the meantime, he was doing what everybody else of his age and experience does, which is to fly for a charter operator in order to build up flying time." Penagaricano claimed Morales was "certainly" qualified to pilot a Cessna 402B.[46] Shortly before the crash, Morales was fired as a pilot from Golden Airlines in Florida for failing to appear at work.[2]

On August 28, 2001, U.S. aviation officials said that Morales had been hired by Blackhawk just two days before the crash, and was not authorized by the FAA to fly the aircraft for the operator. FAA records showed that Blackhawk was clear to fly aircraft under a single-pilot certificate. However, according to Kathleen Bergen, Morales was not on the name authorization papers.[47] Bergen did not identify the pilot who was on the papers, since "it would not be appropriate" to release it, but confirmed Morales was not qualified to fly the Cessna.[45] Morales's father addressed his son's death and responsibility in the crash: "Luis was responsible for nine lives - eight plus his own. Someone is going to have to respond for those eight lives. And someone is going to have to respond for his life to me."[15] He said he had spoken to his son in early August 2001 and the younger Morales related he was doing something he was passionate about.[44]

Lawsuits
The day of the crash was Morales' first official day with Blackhawk, an FAA Part 135 single-pilot operation. He was not registered with the FAA to fly for Blackhawk and, as a result of the accident, Aaliyah's parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the company, which was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.[48] Barry & Sons, Inc., a corporation formed in 1992 to develop, promote, and capitalize Aaliyah, and to oversee the production and distribution of her records and music videos, brought an unsuccessful lawsuit in the New York Supreme Court against Instinct Productions LLC, the company that was hired in August 2001 to produce the music video for "Rock the Boat". The case was dismissed because New York's wrongful death statute permits only certain people related to the deceased to recover damages for wrongful death.[49][50]

Family lawsuits
The families of Foreman and Dodd filed lawsuits against Virgin Records America, alleging the record label was negligent in chartering the aircraft that crashed, killing all the passengers.[51] The lawsuit noted that Blackhawk had been cited four times in the previous four years. At a news conference, attorney Brian Panish charged that the crash victims died instantly because Virgin Records America "put profits over people".[52] In less than a week, the relatives of Gallin sued Virgin Records America, claiming that the label, and its affiliated music and video production units, were liable for his death because they handled the arrangements for Aaliyah’s video shoot in the Bahamas. Gallin's relatives claimed that the label should have hired a “competent” transportation broker and air charter company, and that Blackhawk allowed the pilot to fly the aircraft even though he was unqualified, and took off with it dangerously overloaded.[53] Stuart Grossman represented the Gallin family during the lawsuit and reasoned that even the pilot did not want to take off because of overloading and called it "outrageous". He added: "This is a case of trying to put a size 12 foot in a size 10 shoe."[54]

Diane and Michael Haughton lawsuit
In May 2002, Aaliyah's parents filed a lawsuit, similar to those filed by the families of Foreman and Dodd, against Virgin Records America in Los Angeles, alleging negligence. Their lawsuit claimed that a "dangerous and unsafe configuration" of the Cessna was the cause of the crash and that it was the "wrong plane" for the charter flight; the litigation also asserted that Morales was not properly qualified to operate the aircraft. In addition to suing Virgin Records America, the lawsuit named Blackhawk International Airways, music video director Harold Williams, Instinct Productions, Big Dog House Films, Blackground Records LLC, and Skystream. An investigator for the Bahamian Civil Aviation Department stated neither Blackhawk or Skystream had a permit to operate commercial charter flights in the Bahamas.[55] In September 2003, the Haughtons' lawyers filed a notice in federal court that the case had been settled with an agreement to keep the monetary details confidential.[56]

Nassau funeral home
In August 2002, the funeral home that had prepared the crash victims' bodies publicly accused Virgin Records America of not paying its bill. Loretta Butler-Turner, of Butler's Funeral Homes and Crematorium in Nassau, told Time magazine that $68,000 was spent preparing the bodies and, at the time, Virgin executives Ken and Nancy Berry agreed to cover all expenses. At the time of Turner's announcement, the Berrys had left the record label. Turner tried to contact executives at Virgin Records, and appealed to the U.S. Embassy in Nassau for help, but failed to resolve the situation. "They have kept us waiting for nearly a year and have basically said, since the Berrys are no longer there, they have no responsibility to us," Turner stated. Although the funeral home did not take legal action, Turner did contact Robert Spragg, the Haughtons' lawyer. According to Spragg, the label also owed the Haughton family money for funeral costs, stating: "Those payments were never made to the family to reimburse those costs, and they were substantial".[57]

Turner spoke to E! Online news about the case and reflected on how events had unfolded. "Because Aaliyah was, in their words, 'high profile,' they asked us to expedite things. So we were working over the weekend to get the bodies out as quickly as possible," Turner said. "[The deal] was all verbal, but the truth of the matter is, [the Berrys] knew they were obliged. They contacted all of the families themselves, sent us all of the necessary information, and told us not to deal directly with the family members, that they would be responsible."[58] It was reported that Aaliyah's parents planned to file a lawsuit against Virgin Records America for not fulfilling its promise to pay Aaliyah's funeral expenses. Turner said she would hold on to the victims' death certificates, which were required before estates could be settled or lawsuits could be filed.[59]

Turner said she had been unsuccessful in contacting company executives by telephone calls, letters, and faxes. She said the funeral home had a good relationship with the U.S. Embassy, which, according to her, had supported a potential lawsuit against Virgin Records America since Butler's was a reputable company. "Now this reputable company (Virgin) has kept us waiting for nearly a year and have basically said, since the Berrys are no longer there, they have no responsibility to us. I don't know if they think we are some sort of Third-World banana republic and we're not up to scratch, but it just gives a pretty bad view of things in our view."[58]

Ruling on the lawsuit against Instinct Productions
In May 2004, a judge ruled that Blackground Entertainment, Aaliyah's record company, could sue Instinct Productions, which had provided transportation for the filming of "Rock the Boat." Blackground had filed a negligence lawsuit in civil court against Instinct Productions in November 2003. Instinct Productions argued that Blackground had no right to recover damages since Aaliyah was a company employee. But Judge Carol Edmead found that Aaliyah was also Blackground's chief asset. She wrote that the company's: "growth and prosperity were primarily the result of its efforts to successfully develop and nurture Aaliyah's career". She noted the company was founded in 1992 by Barry Hankerson for the sole purpose of promoting Aaliyah, who was thirteen at the time.[60]

His Untimely Death

In the early morning hours on Oct. 31, 1993, tragedy struck when Phoenix died of a drug overdose after he collapsed on the sidewalk outside of the Viper Room in Los Angeles. Those present at the scene included his younger brother, Joaquin, and girlfriend, Samantha Mathis.

The disbelief of friends, fans and colleagues was expressed by Phoenix’s maternal grandmother, Margaret Dunetz, who, two days after her grandson’s death, was still unable to refer to him in the past tense. “I’m in shock,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “I can’t describe what a wonderful kid he is. I can’t understand why—how—it could happen.”

The young actor was apparently as susceptible to the pitfalls of fame as anyone else. Three years before his death, when his Stand by Me costar Corey Feldman was busted for possession of heroin, Phoenix said, “It makes you realize drugs aren’t just done by bad guys and sleazebags; it’s a universal

River Phoenix knew he was experiencing an overdose from a deadly cocktail of cocaine and heroin the night of his death at Johnny Depp's Los Angeles nightclub claims a friend of the actor who was there that fateful evening.

As the world prepares to mark 20-years since the death of Phoenix at the tragically young age of 23, his friend and former Helonious Monster front-man Bob Forrest has revealed the harrowing last moments before the actor collapsed.

Unsteady on his feet and ghostly white, Forrest recalls how Phoenix turned to him on Halloween, 1993 and pleaded, 'I don't feel so good. I think I'm OD'ing' before he returned to the crowd to hear Depp's band play to only fall into a fit minutes later.

Describing Phoenix, the critically acclaimed star of Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade and Stand By Me, as a frustrated rock star, Forrest said that in the days leading up to his death he had fallen in with Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante.

The two would take large amounts of drugs together, embarking on huge binges.

'River stayed with John for the next few days, and probably didn’t get a minute of sleep,' Forrest writes in his forthcoming book Running With Monsters according to The New York Post.

Mr. Phoenix, who received critical praise for his sensitive acting, had been described as so dedicated to healthy living that he would not eat meat or dairy products. He had been on the cover of not only popular film magazines but also Vegetarian Times.

In a desperate 911 call on the night Mr. Phoenix died, his 19-year-old brother, Joaquin, raised the possibility that drugs were involved when he told a dispatcher that Mr. Phoenix "may have had Valium or something."

In that call, a tape recording of which was made available by the authorities and played at length on television stations here, Joaquin could be heard in a panicked voice pleading for help and describing Mr. Phoenix's convulsions, followed by a sudden lapse into motionlessness.

The actor was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, about two miles from the nightclub, the Viper Room, which is partly owned by the singer and actor Johnny Depp. Mr. Phoenix arrived at the hospital in full cardiac arrest and was soon pronounced dead.

Mr. Carrier said today that the findings of the coroner, Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, were being released immediately upon their determination because of public interest in the death and that no written reports of the toxicological tests were yet available.

"Working with the Sheriff's Department, they determined that no foul play was involved," Mr. Carrier said of the coroner's investigators. "No evidence of foul play is suspected by them at this point in their investigation. So with that in mind, we determined this to be an accidental death." 'No Needle Marks'

And Rich Erickson, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, said that because there was no evidence of foul play, the case was closed.

Mr. Carrier, as well as experts on drugs, said that because of differing individual tolerances to drugs, it was impossible to determine how long before Mr. Phoenix died he had taken the morphine and cocaine that killed him, or exactly how much he had taken.

As for how Mr. Phoenix had taken the drugs, Mr. Carrier said: "There were no needle marks. Maybe it was ingested, maybe it was inhaled. How it was introduced into his body is unknown at this time."
