The autopsy report on musician Jay Reatard, who was found dead in his Georgia home on January 13, has revealed that cocaine and alcohol contributed to his death.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal quotes Medical Examiner Dr. Karen E. Chancellor, putting the cause of death down to “cocaine toxicity, and that alcohol was a contributing factor in his death.” Reatard, real name Jimmy Lee Lindsey, Jr., was 29 years old.

Celebrities that use cocaine are so intelligent, cause dying in your 20's-30's is apparently a trendy thing to do.

I wait tables at a restaurant where 60% of the clientele is over the age 75. Trust me when I say that there are worse things than dying in your twenties or thirties.

As sad as it is to say this I can't say that the cause of death being related to drugs comes as a huge surprise to me
