leave a comment »

According to The Commercial Appeal located in Memphis, TN, punk rocker Jay Reatard died of “cocaine toxicity, and that alcohol was a contributing factor in his death.” It’s a bummer to hear that he succumbed to drugs and alcohol. We’ve lost another great to substance abuse. RIP Jay Reatard.
