Similar manner to Whitney Houston.
Could it be something in his system (I.e. drugs) that didn't react with warm water?
Or suicide given he was depressed?

HE JACKED HIS SYSTEM UP WITH YEARS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE...IT GLITCHED AND HE DIED...IT IS EXTREMELY SAD BUT EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE.

First reports said he drowned. Now they're switching it up. Who drowns in their jacuzzi?
They're not giving the real story.
There are a lot of possibilities.
Maybe his heart just gave up. He'd just played a long pickleball match, but heart attacks can be unpredictable.
Don't know what you mean by "something ... didn't react with warm water".
Autopsy results pending. They are awaiting toxicology tests. I bet they find drugs.
The drowning in a jacuzzi just sounds too strange, like it seems so unlikely that could happen.
I think we’ll find out it was something else.
It’s hard to imagine a sober person can’t keep their head above the waterline in a shallow hot tub. Drowning in that scenario sure sounds consistent with being intoxicated.

Yeah. I'd guess it'll prove either to be alcohol or (prescription) drug related. Or quite possibly both.
There's also a possibility, I suppose, that he had some sort of sudden medical emergency (heart attack, perhaps) while he was in the jacuzzi and there was no-one around to help him.
But I can't imagine he went into a hot tub sober and reasonably healthy and accidentally drowned himself. That seems implausible.
Do you think someone who has a heart attack or say a stroke can still respirate in order to drown though? I have no medical expertise but I assume they said he drowned because he breathed water into his lungs. It’ll be sadder if it was intox / overdose because he was recently so hopeful he was finally sober
shareI won't pretend to know. I'm no expert on such matters either.
I was just thinking that it might be possible something not directly related to chemical substances debilitated him or knocked him unconscious very suddenly.
But, knowing what we know about his previous issues, my hunch is that the toxicology report will show something in his system that contributed to the tragedy. Even if it's just Ambien.
He's definitely dead. There's no disputing that.
sharehe seemed like a tortured soul. i am not sure why.
shareHis decades of drug use may be the reason why? He looked 60 at age 54 and that might tell you why.
why did he start doing drugs? he grew up in an affluent family and seemed to have everything.
shareI obviously don't know why he started doing them. He may have struggled with his demons from the very beginning, but if I had to guess why he started doing drugs, it might be because it felt good at first and a stress-relief and everyone else around him used to do them too, but while others eventually stopped or could keep it under control, he let it overtake him and it eventually made him succumb to it.
shareNah, it was his parent's divorce when he was a kid and abandonment issues. It always stems from childhood.
Divorce fcks up children's mental health and they grow up with problems well into their adulthood.

People who do years of substance abuse, even if they stop and become sober, will still suffer the consequences of it.
