Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland died suddenly while on tour with his solo project in December of 2015 . It was ruled a drug overdose, which involved several different substances found in his system, and now the Reelz show “Autopsy: The Last Hours of…” will explore the death of Scott Weiland (followed by Chris Cornell and Kurt Cobain).

 

 

The description for this episode of Autopsy: The Last Hours of Scott Weiland is, “Known affectionately as ‘The Last Great Rockstar,’ grunge icon Scott Weiland died on December 3rd, 2015. The singer and songwriter was just 48. As sales skyrocketed he indulged in all the excesses that come with success in the music business, but all the time he was battling alcoholism and mental illness.”

 

 

The description continues, “The Examiner’s Report cites mixed drug toxicity as the cause of death – but there was no heroin found in Scott’s system, and renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter believes that Scott’s well documented drug use doesn’t present the full picture.” The episode will air on May 9 at 8pm ET, following installments on the deaths of Chris Cornell (6pm ET) and Kurt Cobain (7pm ET).
