Tapia died of heart disease

Yup your heart can literally explode trying to pump oxygen if you snort too much too quickly. Then there is the infamous speedball which is a mixture of coke and heroin at the same time, killed chris farley and many other.

 

He had NO illegal drugs in his system at the time of his death...His prescription drugs may have played a role, but it does seem that he had overcome many of his demons at the end of his life. Very tragic ending to a remarkable life. Rest in Peace Champ, you are greatly missed.

 

probably years of doing hard drugs damaged his heart.

Anyway Rest In Peace Champ.

 

Let him R.I.P.

 

A fighter since birth. RIP

 

I've had two heart attacks a good while after I stopped doing things I shouldn't so this makes sense.
Good man for posting this.Thank you Peppermint.
Still hurtin' for ya Johnny.

Damn man you're a tough and lucky hombre to survive two heart attacks. those things are usually deadly.

 

if you don't mind me asking.

How old where you when you had your heart attacks?
How long is 'a good while'?
how old are you now and have had any heart problems since your last heart attack?

Happy to see it wasn't drugs that took him out.

I'm a bit of an hypochondriac.

This thread isnt good for me lol.

 

I had them at 37.I wasn't abusing drugs for about a year although much to my shame,I was still having an occasional joint.I also had a very minor stroke and after I got my stents put in,things were OK for a while,but I've had more problems in the last few months and they reckon the valve that doesn't have a stent might be blocked now.
I'm 39 now.

 

Prays for you bro

 

Thanks guys.Very kind of you.

 

Live long and well, man!!!Live long and well!!!:good

 

RIP,Johnny.One of the toughest men I have ever seen.
