According to the coroner, Weiland, 48, died of “mixed drug toxicity,” the coroner’s report said. Cocaine, alcohol and methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) were found in his bloodstream. MDA, chemically related to the drug ecstasy was also found.
Weiland died December 3rd and was found in his tour bus in a hotel parking lot near the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN. His current band The Wildabouts were enroute to a concert in Rochester, MN.
