17. Kevin Dubrow died of cocaine overdose. I've done so much cocaine and never died. How much cocain must a person do do die? They must have to be overweight like that comedian from Saturday Night Live or 52 like Kevin Dubrow.

18. I thought he was straight and getting healthy and was in a new relationship with a woman out in Vegas...guess all that goes out the window when the power of drugs on some comes a calling.

What a shame he OD'd....why take so much so fast if you were off of it for a while...couldnt get high enough fast enough...it is such a disease, it will kill, jail or see you go criminally insane if left to rule you. Clapton and JJ Cale were;nt kidding when they wrote Cocaine...she dont like she dont lie she dont lie.........you knew the rest.

24. Kevin Dubrow was a heavy metal God. He was apart of the heavy metal scene, and yes cocaine is apart of that. God Kevin go to heaven , go to heaven Kevin, heaven, heaven heaven.

26. I don't like it nor do I agree with it, but I do understand that many people do drugs to get a high and that even trying it one time can get people addicted. I grew up in the 80's and I never got into the heavy metal music or drugs. But, I do like music. I appreciate that this man had talent...otherwise he would not have had such a fan base. I am so sorry for his family and friends. He really disappointed them. It seems it's hard to find good role models that were popular from the 80's bands.

28. i don't believe it should be listed as an "accidental" cocaine overdose. He knew what he was doing so there was no accident involved. He did it on his own stupidity.
