His Death
River was found outside the Viper Room, a Hollywood nightclub on the sidewalk having convulsions, allegedly after partaking in a lethal dose of heroin and cocaine, known as a speedball. His brother Joaquin dialed 911, and family friend Samantha Mathis and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea were on hand to help, but to no avail, as the young star died from a drug-induced heart failure. He was pronounced dead at 1:51am on October 31, 1993 at 23 years old.-
