After one day of his death, Colombian officials said that a preliminary pee toxicology test showed that Hawkins had 10 drugs in his system when he died.
These drugs included THC, opioids, benzodiazepines and tricyclic antidepressants. The National Institute of Forensic Medicine in Colombia said they would continue the medical studies to achieve total clarification of the events that led to the death of Taylor Hawkins.
The office of the attorney general also said they would keep looking into the cause of his death in a timely manner. The official autopsy results hadn’t been released yet, but his friends believe he wasn’t using hard drugs recreationally at the time of his death.
It also said that forensic tests done after the death showed that Hawkins’ heart was about double the normal size which means that it could have collapsed even if he hadn’t been wearing drugs.
