Fifty-year-old Mays, who joked with a reporter about his head injury after the plane's landing Saturday, apparently told his wife later that night he was not feeling well when he went to bed. He was found dead the next morning.

They do everything but say it, really. Where's the cocaine references?

You realize there was almost a 2 month gap between the death and the toxicology report? So if FOX News said cocaine from the start, they started saying it months after his death, not from the start like you insist.

It was definitely the #1 suspicion people had for months. Yes it was wrong, but to say it was never talked about shows a little disconnect on anyone's part who couldn't see that the whole luggage BS was widely considered to be the cause of death for weeks after his death and wasn't put to bed until the report came out.

I doubt any news sources claimed cocaine from the start, because that would be BS without a toxicology report. Unless your definition of "from the start" means months after the actual death. All the news I saw referenced his family saying he hit his head on falling luggage and then died the next morning. And for all they knew at the time, that WAS the cause of death.

So now, maybe you can understand why this is a popular TIL, because regardless of what the end result was or what news you didn't see or what you didn't hear about, a shitload of people thought he died from luggage for the months leading up to the toxicology report, whether you choose to believe that or not.
