Taylor Hawkins: Drugs found in body of late Foo Fighters drummer
Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had opioids, marijuana and other drugs in his system before he died, Colombian investigators say.
A toxicology report showed traces of 10 substances in his body, including anti-depressants.

Story unfolding that there were signs of a party in his room.
Possible heart attack, induced by drugs.
So sad. You've gotta feel for Dave Grohl, two of his best mates dead through drugs. I know he was devastated after Kurt Cobain died and had rows with Taylor about his drug use and threatened to throw him out of Foos

Tom Parker was diagnosed in October with grade four glioblastoma, the most common form of brain tumour
The Wanted star Tom Parker has died at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, the British boy band have announced.
The singer told fans in October 2020 that he had an inoperable tumour.
His wife Kelsey Hardwick wrote on Instagram: "Our hearts are broken." The pair had two young children together.
She added: "Tom was the centre of our world. We can't imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence."
Her post continued: "We are truly thankful for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we all unite to ensure Tom's light continues to shine for his beautiful children.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported in his care throughout, he fought until the very end. I'm forever proud of you."

The couple married in 2018 and had a daughter, Aurelia Rose, and a son, Bodhi.
The band said they were "devastated" by Parker's death and that they were with him and his family at his side when he died.
The Wanted formed in 2009, with Parker, Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Nathan Sykes and Jay McGuiness.
They had two UK number one singles - Glad You Came and All Time Low - and eight other top 10 hits including Chasing The Sun, Heart Vacancy and Lightning.
Kaneswaran also wrote his own post on Instagram, saying: "Hey Tom, hope you're having a blast up there.
"I am so grateful that I had a chance to witness your true courage. It has been a pleasure of my life Tommy Boy.
"Thank you for letting us see you light up the world. Talk to you soon and see you later. Love you brother x."
Parker posted a picture with his bandmates earlier this week, simply stating: "Dream team."
The Wanted reunited for a Stand Up To Cancer Gig at London's Royal Albert Hall last September, organised by Parker. It also raised money for the National Brain Appeal.
The group then released a greatest hits album in November. Shortly before the album's release, Parker told fans his brain tumour was "stable" and "under control".

They then went on tour and Parker put in an appearance sitting on a throne on stage at some of their last shows earlier this month.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts, who revealed in January that she had been treated for bowel cancer, said Parker was "such a hero and an inspiration to me".
She wrote on Twitter: "He was so strong. Rest In Power Tom and thank you for everything you did."
Singer Ed Sheeran posted on Instagram: "So sad to hear of Tom's passing. Thoughts and love are with Kelsey, his children and his family. Very sad day, what a lovely guy."
Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp tweeted that Parker's "bravery, fight and spirit" will "never be forgotten".
TV presenter Gaby Roslin said he was "so brave and such a lovely man".
Take That's Howard Donald also paid tribute, writing: "So young and so sad. RIP Tom Parker from The Wanted. Strength and love to his family."

Rylan Clark said it was "absolutely gutting" news. "He was such a good'un. So sad to hear. Sending my love to Kelsey and the kids," he wrote.
Former One Direction star Liam Payne said he was "heartbroken". "[Parker] was so full of life and humour, and the memories I have of him with stay with me forever."
Presenter Davina McCall remembered Parker as the "kindest soul".
Fellow British boyband Blue, tweeted that Parker was "an inspiration" and "changed the lives of everyone he came into contact with".
Singer Joe McElderry tweeted: "So very very sad
life can be cruel! My thoughts to his family and friends."
Union J singer JJ Hamblett said it was "such a cruel, cruel world... RIP Tom.. you will be missed but never never forgotten".
Non-profit organisation Brain Tumour Research UK released a statement commending Parker's openness about his illness and his fundraising efforts.
The charity's Hugh Adams said: "Since his diagnosis Tom has spoken openly and honestly about the impact of the disease and in doing so, has helped to raise awareness of the devastation caused by brain tumours."

Far far too young - RIP
And with two wee nippers too, very sad. R.I.P.
Sadly (for Shane), too true. Just read his obit in The Economist today which started with his love of cheese sandwiches (white bread), pies, booze and ***s! The proverbial heart attack waiting to happen. Not trying to be mean but if it motivates anyone to a better lifestyle then worth thinking about. Sad for his family. One of the thoughts that helps me keep reasonably fit is the love I have for my wife, kids and grandchildren. I want to be there for / with them!
