The first time he shot up kurt cobain injected him with heroin. It was all downhill from there...
SALT LAKE CITY -- "Celebrity Rehab" alum Mike Starr, who was the original bassist for rock band Alice in Chains, was found dead Tuesday at his home in Salt Lake City, TMZ reported.
"It's a terrible shock and tragedy," Starr's father told the celebrity website about the death of his 44-year-old son.
The cause of the musician's death, reported to police shortly before 2:00pm local time, was not yet known.
Starr's death occurred less than a month after he was arrested on suspicion of drug possession in Utah.
The rocker, who was treated by Dr. Drew Pinsky for heroin addiction on the third season of the VH1 reality show, was caught by police with six pills of Opana, a painkiller, and six pills of Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug.
Starr was the original bass player for Alice in Chains when they formed in 1987. He was kicked out of the Seattle-based rock group in 1993 for drug abuse.

He was just a hardcore junkie going through withdrawal probably with some psychosis.

That's a shame... I'm just going by what he was arrested with, but a shitload of pills all interacting with each other in your body is some serious stuff.

Was just told about this, and I think this is the saddest celebrity loss I've ever experienced. I was a huge Alice in Chains fan in 2004-2005 and they're one of my favorite bands of all time. I hope he's at peace now with Layne.
R.I.P., Mike Starr

Shit, I thought he was doing alright after Celebrity Rehab.
One of my guilty pleasures. He even did the sober house and everything. Although he was a dick to everyone and blamed it on the withdrawal.
It's so bad he met with Layne's mother since he felt so responsible for his death.
Kind of a shock. I would have expected Seth Binzer to kick way before Mike.
-------------------- Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.
