I Heard It Was a Left-Over Mud Shark Sandwich She Got from Led Zeppelin

1: 'Mama' Cass choking on a sandwich
When 'Mama' Cass Elliot died in her London flat in 1974 at the age of 32, a hasty postmortem suggested she had choked on her own vomit while chomping a sandwhich in bed.... Though a sandwich may well have been found at her bedside, the autopsy revealed no evidence of food in her trachea. Tragically, it appears she died peckish.

That may be the saddest thing since the hunter shot Babar's mother — or some roadie shot cocaine up Stevie Nicks's bum. (I hadn't heard that one until today, and, not one to let the truth get in the way of a good story, I'm not letting it go.)
