Ummm yeah, you can't die "on" speedball.... A speedball is a combination of a stimulant (like cocaine) and a depressant (like heroin). So you can die "from" a speedball, but not "on."

Oh, there are a whole bunch. Recently, Brittany Murphy. Then there are: Jimi Hendrix, famous guitar player of the 50's or 60's, can't remember precisely, who was also found dead at age 27; It's said that Jim Morrison, from The Doors, may have also died from an overdose, also at 27. Dee Dee Ramone, guitarist from The Ramones, heroin overdose. Sid Vicious, Sex Pistols, rumored suicide with heroin overdose. And it goes on...

River Phoenix

I think Paul Gray's death was the most selfish thing he could have ever done; leaving his pregnant with to bring up their child without him, what a git.
