I have often speculated that this A+ list mostly movie actor was responsible for the death of this at the time A+ list mostly movie actor.

There is an alternate theory that this permanent A list musician either gave the actor the speedball that he od’d and died from or took one with him. I still think the actor was responsible because he didn’t want anyone dying near him.

This one named A list musician says that it was the other musician who was responsible and that it was only because the one named musician talked to the family of the actor, that no one sued.

It was the same one named musician that got the other musician into rehab and eventually sober and back with the group they both starred in.

A+ list mostly movie actor: Johnny Depp

River Phoenix

A list musician: John Frusciante

The Viper Room

One named A list musician: Flea

River Phoenix’s Final Moments Revealed in New Book: ‘I Think I’m OD’ing’

In his new memoir “Running With Monsters” (Crown Archetype, available now), “Celebrity Rehab” star Bob Forrest — who chronicles his days as a drug addict and musician on the Hollywood scene in the book — recalls the night of Phoenix’s death, writing that Phoenix felt he was suffering from an overdose in the moments before his collapse.

“Somebody broke out the coke and passed it around. River was obviously wasted and was as unsteady as a boxer who had taken one too many head shots during a 15-round bout,” Forrest recalls in the book. “His complete lack of motor skills made me think he was drunk. Heroin will make users lean when they stand still, but you almost never see them stumble and fall.”

Forrest recalls Phoenix approaching him later, during a performance by Depp’s band P, and admitting that he might be undergoing an overdose.

“They were always a fun band to watch, and tonight, they played well. It was great fun until I felt a hand tap my shoulder and turned to see River. He was a whiter shade of pale,” Forrest writes.

“Bob, I don’t feel so good,” Forrest recalls Phoenix telling him. “I think I’m OD’ing.”

Forrest was doubtful that Phoenix was overdosing — “Usually you just OD and that’s it,” Forrest observes in the book — but offered to get Phoenix home. The actor declined, saying he felt better.

“I tried to reassure him. ‘I don’t think it’s an OD. You can stand and you can talk,’” Forrest writes in the book. “I still have guilt that I dismissed his worries so casually.”

Shortly thereafter, a commotion erupted in the club, and Forrest rushed to the door to find Phoenix’s girlfriend, “American Psycho” actress Samantha Mathis, screaming as her boyfriend convulsed on the sidewalk. – Source
