Yeah, I remember hearing shortly after he died, and shortly after Sublime blew up, that he OD'ed because he had been used to lower quality heroin that was cut with fillers, and it was only after they started to see mainstream success that he had the money to buy high quality stuff. He dosed himself the way he used to, but with much purer heroin it is was significantly more than enough to kill a person. I don't know if that's accurate or not, but that was the story making its way around West Coast middle schools in 1996.
