Autopsy: The Last Hours of Scott Weiland will premiere this Sunday, May 9 at 8PM ET on Reelz and will look at the legendary singer’s history as a musician along with his battles with addiction.
Weiland passed away in December 2015 from a drug overdose as his toxicology tests revealed multiple substances present in his system at the time of his death.
“At the height of his career he developed a devastating heroin addiction, and towards the end of his life his behaviour became increasingly unpredictable and erratic,” a description of the episode on the channel’s website reads.
“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.”
Dr. Hunter will investigate Weiland’s “troubled past” and look at “a catalogue of traumatic events and dangerous activities” in his life. ”Together they created the circumstances for him to die suddenly and without warning on a cold winter’s day alone on his tour bus,” the description concludes.
