Staley said: “Drugs worked for me for years, and now they’re turning against me, now I’m walking through hell, and this sucks. I didn’t want my fans to think that heroin was cool. But then I’ve had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they’re high. That’s exactly what I didn’t want to happen.”

The autopsy revealed that Staley had died of a speedball overdose – a mixture of heroin and cocaine.🆘
