Gotta admit, I expected it to be related to his past drug/alcohol abuse. Drowning is a bit of a shock.

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 115 points 1 year ago

It was in a hot tub. My money is on drugs plus hot tub

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

It was a lap pool, not a hot tub. His home he bought last June lists a lap pool, no hot tub.

[-] Volkditty@kbin.social 92 points 1 year ago

Well, that confirms it. There's no way a millionaire could have had a hot tub installed since last June!

[-] chepox@sopuli.xyz 51 points 1 year ago

I did not know what a lap pool was. This is a lap pool.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Sources online say it was a combo of a lap pool hot tub.

[-] fine_sandy_bottom@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Oh wow neither did I.

For some reason I thought it was a tiny shallow pool, like for toddlers to play in. Why would anyone even have one of those?!

A lap pool, for doing laps, makes so much more sense. I've lived in a house with a pool and it's just a huge pain in the ass. Being able to bust a couple of laps would be great though. I'd love to have this.

Neither did I, thanks for sharing!

Damn, that was his last post. Pretty eerie. Seems like there are worse ways to go

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Strange, the article from la times said hot tub

[-] Dralejr@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago

Apparently his last Twitter/Instagram whatever post he showed off his new hot tub, so could be either I suppose.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Twitter is saying it is a hot tub, lap pool combo.

[-] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago

Doesn't really matter, does it? Not that most people, yours truly included, didn't contemplate it. But the man's dead, and that's kinda it.

[-] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 year ago

One has to wonder about the medical issues he was experiencing in the past couple of years were.

I'm pretty sure addiction doesn't make one healthier or younger so you wonder what type of damage has incurred over the years of his struggles. Perhaps he had heart issues or something else that will surface in the hours and says ahead.

Still sad to hear he's passed. Money can make some things easier in life without a doubt but it can't fix everything it seems.

[-] Evilcoleslaw@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

Apparently drowning in a hot tub, while it could be from any number of things, screams possible drug or alcohol involvement.

[-] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Yeah... It's possibly not, but the overwhelming probability is drugs.

Addiction is a disease. I'm sad to see him go.

[-] Ser_Salty@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

It was possibly a heart attack that caused him to drown, which wouldn't be much of a shock considering his painkiller abuse, known to cause heart problems. No drugs or alcohol on site, but it's not like his addictions didn't leave a lasting impact.

[-] flucksy_bango@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

You've gotta be pretty fucked up to drown in a hot tub

[-] Siethron@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Ehh not really. Dehydration alone could cause you to pass out in a hot tub when you think you're just really relaxed.

[-] Kite@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

You've gotta be pretty fucked up to drown in a hot tub

If you've got low blood pressure, could be naturally that way or medication can cause it, you can pass out fast in a hot tub. I can't go in them for that reason.
