Tom Petty's autopsy results are in, and they show the singer died from an accidental drug overdose as a result of taking a variety of medications.
The L.A. County Coroner says a number of Tom's organs failed due to "mixed drug toxicity." Tom's autopsy report shows the singer was on several pain meds, including Fentanyl patches, oxycodone (Oxycontin), temazepam (Restoril), alprazolam (Xanax), citalopram (Celexa), acetyl fentanyl and despropionyl fentanyl. The reason doctors prescribed the meds was because of a number of medical problems, including emphysema, knee problems and a fractured hip. The family says the linchpin to Tom's demise was the fractured hip. He insisted on touring for 53 concert dates with the condition, which worsened over time and caused him to take the meds. On the date he had the heart attack he was told his hip had graduated to a full-on break that made the pain unbearable and may have caused the overuse of meds.

Wow! I thought I had a drug problem. I still respect Petty, but this takes the luster off. Very sad.

They were prescribed. Unethical professional. I am a newly retired professional, as many of you know. I know about bad ethics. True story. Single mothers.....(heh) bartering for dental work. Younger patients helping me with my addiction, while I help with their addictions. Working for years addicted . Still addicted. All prescribed . Finding an unethical health care professional is easy. Easier than buying liquor or a firearm.

It is sad, but as someone that suffers from chronic pain I don't think it takes the luster off at all. Maybe it takes being in constant pain to understand.

Pain is so hard to define. Extremely fine razor’s edge between being a helpful practioner or an enabler . Who are we to try and judge and assess someone else’s pain? Difficult. Excruciatingly DIFFICULT.

This is true I am sure. But living with pain is difficult too.

I don't really care if he took drugs or not. He made some good music and seemed like a decent enough dude. Not being an asshole is a major accomplishment these days.

He did seem like a good guy, and he showed how much he cared about his fans by not cancelling the tour because of his injury. Sad that it led to his death.
