Cuchulainn 3,040 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 "Carrie Fisher had cocaine, methadone, heroin and ecstasy in her system when she died in December, according to an autopsy report released Monday. The coroner’s report listed sleep apnea as the primary cause of death, with drug intake as a contributing factor. The report stated that Fisher’s family objected to a full autopsy, and coroner’s investigators had access to limited toxicology specimens. The conclusions were based on toxicology results and an external examination of Fisher’s body. Fisher died on Dec. 27, four days after going into cardiac arrest on an airplane arriving at LAX from London. The report states that Fisher’s assistant was on the plane with her. The assistant reported that she was awake and normal at the beginning of the flight, but had “multiple apneic episodes, which was her baseline” during the flight. At the end of the flight, she could not be awoken. “Based on the available toxicological information, we cannot establish the significance of the multiple substances that were detected in Ms. Fisher’s blood and tissue, with regard to the cause of death,” the report states."

On that note: It's common for former addicts to frequently relapse. It's part of the daily struggle of staying sober. Going to rehab once and never touching drugs again is a romaticized lie by Hollywood, so I don't wanna hear any shaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're not assuming I was shaming her by putting drugs in system in the title. I felt it was important to add. They don't know how affected she was by those drugs in her system, but it shows she was still struggling with addiction. I know how difficult it can be to struggle with alcohol and drugs, that's why I said it was sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, I was proactively shaming the "DON'T DOOO LIKE WHITNEY GAGA U DROPZ ON MARIJUANAS AND U DIE" side of GagaDaily, not you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That J 12,166 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 One thing, among many, that I always loved and admired about Carrie was her honesty. Not only was she brutally honest about her work, her upbringing, etc, she was always on point about her drug abuse. She would be the first to tell you, "I am a drug addict, I have mental issues and other things. I may do drugs again tomorrow. I try but I'm real". I'm paraphrasing one of her (fantastic) books. I like to think owning that truth brings a certain kind of odd peace. She was one of my favorite authors and speakers and, as a fan, I'll miss what she so freely gave immensely.... Sometimes it takes the peculiar addict to give some unabashed truth to the world. And THAT was Carrie Fisher!

Roomingfree77 244 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'd list it as accidental and her mother's from a broken heart and may they both rest in peace over the matter because these woman did nothing but give their entire lives no matter what the adversity was..
