Taylor Hawkins had WHAT combo of drugs in his system? Your position is it had nothing to do with his death? Sure he didn’t overdose on 1 substance, nice sidestep. If one look at the effects of all those substances on a human, it’s at minimum a possibility, and reasonably speaking, what killed him. Protect the brand.
