He was found dead in Topanga Canyon, California, after according to autopsy reports, a barbiturate overdose.

Although this is contentious, Richie Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers also disappeared at 27 I think. He can’t be an official member of the 27 club as his body was never found even though its suspected he jumed off the severn bridge
