Mike Starr dead: Ex-Alice in Chains bassist's autopsy set for Wednesday, says investigator

Mike Starr, former bassist for Alice in Chains and 2009 "Celebrity Rehab" alum, was found dead at the age of 44 Tuesday afternoon at his Salt Lake City home.

Utah's Office of the Medical Examiner's chief investigator told the Daily News the autopsy would take place Wednesday, though a toxicology report is required to determine the cause of death and that can take 8-12 weeks.

Police do not suspect foul play, The Salt Lake City Tribune reported.

Dr. Drew Pinsky, the producer of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" who oversaw Starr's treatment for heroin addiction in 2009, took to Twitter to mourn his former patient's death.

"Devastating to hear of Mike Starr succumbing to his illness," he tweeted on Tuesday. "So very sad. Our prayers are with his family."

Here's the lead for every other news outlet I could find, including the local Memphis media. Notice every one is essentially "Carmelo hits game winner":

The Lead: With half a second left in the game that was tied 108-108, Carmelo Anthony did to the Grizzlies what Zach Randolph did to the Mavericks last weekend and Rudy Gay did to the Heat and the Raptors earlier this season: Delivered a gut-punch loss with a baseline jumper.

Now here's this ESPN headline:

"Knicks Avoid Collapse On Melo's Late Jumper."

Ummmm... Notice anything? I'm not tripping about this, but I find it somewhat comical that ESPN totally botched this highlight.

My point is that the lead on this piece was so blatantly obvious that it was exactly the same for every single news outlet: "Carmelo hits game winner." Period.

Well, every single news outlet except one. "Knicks avoid collapse" was the ESPN lead. Followed up by "Zach Randolph records 200th 20/10 game" as the emphasis on the highlight call.

Absolutely awful journalism and just bizarre coverage.

Now here's this ESPN headline:

"Knicks Avoid Collapse On Melo's Late Jumper."

Ummmm... Notice anything? I'm not tripping about this, but I find it somewhat comical that ESPN totally botched this highlight.

yup, had this been a LeBrick game winner, it would be on the ESPN front page, a breaking news story, and ESPN would already have that Doofy SportsScience guy taping a segment about exactly how hard LeBron's game winner was. (good thing we never have to worry about a LeBron game winner happening )

Random Doofy SportsScience guy: LeBron had to shoot at a 42 degree angle with the EXACT force of a 290 pound man, he also had to bank it at exactly 37 degrees for it to go in.

ESPN is ridiculous point blank. They'll hop on the bandwagon eventually, they always do.

[knicksNOTslick]

Another day, another game winner for Carmelo. It's OK... the world is used to Melo delivering in the clutch. No need for ESPN to report on something that's normal. Lebron on the other hand, his game winners are a rare occurence so ESPN has to report on witnessing the once in a blue moon greatness that is King James.

Had Lebron got lucky and banked in a game winner, the ESPN headlines would've been "King Lebron with the clutch game-winner to snap losing streak" and they all would've analyzed it to death. Do you all remember Lebron's game winning buzzer beater that he banked off the glass against the Magic? Watch that then watch Carmelo hit game winning shots. The difference in their reactions... Melo hits it like, yea I meant to hit it. Bron hits it and celebrates like a child who chucked his first free throw.

WHAT...THE....****.

First Layne, now Starr? Heroine is a hellavua drug. Smh.

WHAT...THE....****.

First Layne, now Starr? Heroine is a hellavua drug. Smh.

Yeah, plus I just found out yesterday that a 24 year-old client (legal) of mine, who I was very fond of, died this week from what I believe was a drug overdose (most likely heroin). But we won't know for sure until the autopsy is completed. His mom (a recovering addict herself) was home with him at time. She said he seemed fine to her and that he'd been clean for about 40 days. I'm going to the funeral on Saturday night. I really had hope that Corey would turn it around. So sad.

LOL @ Heat Index
what a great idea that was

[Guano]

I don't see a problem really, although the Friday reference gave me a chuckle. The header was spot on "Knicks Avoid Collapse On Melo's Jumper"....up by 17, lose focus, Memphis gets back in the game, Melo bails us out to avoid OT. I mean, what should it have said?

For this board: Knicks have an amazing win over the Memphis Grizzlies behind the best duo in the history of the NBA, Amare Greatemire and Godmelo Anthony.

Solid post. A game winning shot against a hot playoff team on the road is nothing to get excited about. Then you follow it up with a better point, we really shouldn't be excited about the best duo the Knicks have had since the 70's.

[vinnie_vegas69]

LOL, Melo hits a buzzer beater and anything Knicks is no where to be found on the front page of ESPN.

There you go. Now you never need ESPN.com again.

So Charlie Sheen puts a knife to his wife's neck, constantly disrespects his boss, causes a highly watched show to be put on hold, is obviously taking heavy drugs and goes on TV and acts a fool and he's a god but Tiger Woods gets the amount of pussy every man pursues and is a pariah. #Racismstillalive. Never understood what was with the love of this guy. 2 and a Half Men sucks rhino dick and his movies all sucked. Chuck Lorre should spite him and hire Emilio to take his place.

Race card? Really?

Woods tried to pull off the family man act, Sheen was always a nutcase.

[TrueWarrior]

I still dont understand why some of you guys give a sh*t what these talking heads say. It perplexes me how sensitive and insecure you are. I bet if Barkley starts calling us out again tonight theres going to be another 3 threads crying about it too. Just like Jon Barry's clown azzzz. Seriously who cares? What effect does it have on you? Step back and think about it. Let em talk. Keep it movin and enjoy the wins.

I fail to see where I can get my daily Brett Favre fix on that site. Nice try.

1. What else are we to talk about? This is the place for stuff like this.

2. The media has a lot of influence over the masses. In particular the sheeple, who are sadly the majority of the population. I personally dont give a ****, but a lot of people eat it up.

[hatnlvr]

NBA TV giving us love though.

They were just breaking down the unstoppableness of our offense.

+1
They even talked about how badly we were beat at the FT line and still managed to pull out the game. There has been a lot of Knick hate going around, and the ESPN posers are leading the charge.

It feels like everyone thinks the big hairy scary white man is just one big fat biggot now.

Sometimes it feels like minorities pull the racism upon themselves.
