nuckin_futz Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Taylor Hawkins Death Details Emerging From Colombian Authorities The shocking and unexpected death Friday of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins is still under investigation, Colombian authorities said Saturday. Hawkins died at a hotel located in the town of Chapinero in Bogotá, Colombia, local health officials said in a press release Saturday morning. Bogotá’s emergency center sent an ambulance to the hotel. They had received reports of “a patient with chest pains,” according to the Spanish-language press release. Efforts to resuscitate Hawkins were tried. “However, there was no response, and the patient was declared deceased,” Bogotá’s District Department of Health said. Teams from EMI, a health company providing home health care services, also responded to the emergency, according to local health officials. Hawkins body was removed from the scene. A crowd soon gathered outside the hotel, with some holding a candlelight vigil to mourn the fallen drummer. “The District Department of Health mourns the death of this talented musician and drummer, widely recognized internationally for his work,” Colombian health officials said in a statement. “Besides, the entity sends its message of condolences to the family, colleagues and followers.” The attorney general’s office in Colombia said in a tweet Saturday morning that a “team of prosecutors and investigators has been assigned to attend the urgent matter and support the investigation.” Foo Fighters were scheduled to perform in Colombia for the first time in three years at the Festival Estéreo Picnic Friday night in Bogotá, following their Latin American tour. Neither the band nor Colombian authorities have yet released Hawkins cause of death. “Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time,” the band wrote. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Sounds like a heart attack. Just goes to show that no matter how good of shape you're in, it doesn't make you immune to heart disease.... This is a huge blow.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Gutted by the news. I was looking forward to seeing the Foos play in Victoria for the first time ever, but that really doesn't matter right now. Condolences to his family and bandmates; it hurts to see Grohl have to go through this yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Ah just awful, wish nothing but the best for the family especially with him in another country. I am really glad I got to see them in concert a few years back, always regretted not seeing Linkin Park when I had opportunities. Theres only a handful of bands I really wish to see and Foo Fighters was always on it. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those guys to have that energy day in and day out how hard they rock out, we all know they are taking something. Very sad none the less. Dave Grohl is well known for hitting the beer and Jagar before concerts hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 It’s sad.. very,. I’m sure if reports are true of drug use.. even he would tell you he made a huge mistake if he the opportunity to. Some have no idea what they are truly playing with, even in the context of “recreational use”.. even if it dosent kill you, it’s going to effect your life, or the love of others around you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beni Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Devastating, I had just been talking to a friend about going to the show in Penticton before a night shift, got home the next day to see the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend, who is no longer a friend I guess, has done ecstasy/MDMA since he was a teen. He’s a hefty guy and in his mid-40s now. He told me, aside from the depression from doing so much of it, his main concern is the effect it has on his heart because he can really feel it now that he’s older and he’s scared he’ll get a heart attack from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She helps analyse the street drugs to make sure they are ok for consumption. Apparently she has never seen it so bad. Everything is cut with something, usually fentanyl. Says there is no good stuff out there anymore, all the coke etc is dirty. All drugs should be legalised. Regulate, clean then up, make bank of the taxes and put it into healthcare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue for something like cocaine would be sourcing an ethical supply. I couldn't agree more overall though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
