Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had taken cannabis, opiates and antidepressants before he breathed his last Friday night in a Bogota hotel, Colombian authorities said.
"The toxicology test detected 10 substances so far in Taylor Hawkins' system, including cannabis, antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opiates," Colombian authorities said. Shortly before he died, Hawkins complained of "chest pain". The doctor who rushed to the hotel attempted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but to no avail, according to Bogota City Hall.
The band, one of the most influential and recognized in the alternative rock scene, was due to perform in Bogota as part of the Estéreo Picnic Festival. The concert was cancelled and the audience observed a minute of silence in memory of the Foo Fighters drummer.
Hawkins had been a member of the Foo Fighters since 1997 and participated in some of their biggest hits, such as "Learn to Fly" or "Best of You". He breathed his last on Friday night at the age of just 50.
