I find it interesting that right after Tom died, the press/media made a huge deal about it, saying it was an apparent heart attack. Fast forward 3 months and come to find out that Tom's death was pretty much self-inflicted with the heavy use of drugs for a broken hip and other issues (anti -depressants). They found Fentanyl, Xanax, antidepressants etc in his system on an autopsy. Sadly, Tom kept going on the last tour just to please the fans when in fact it appears that he was quite injured. Still miss you TP!!
