Not sure why this is in the politics forum, but what do I know...politics bores me to tears. LOL
Anyway, Mitch is my favorite comedian...his stuff is GREAT!!! The autopsy lists his cause of death of "multiple drug toxicity" including cocaine and heroine. Not sure when the interview you saw were from, but he was arrested in 2003 for possession of heroin, so it must've been before then.
Mitch will always be my favorite comedian...no one else can deliver his jokes like he did. Funny thing is, and a lot of people don't know this unless they read up on him, he had SEVERE stage fright (which is why he always wore those glasses).
Anybody else see his appearance on That 70's Show??? "I did not lose a leg in Vietnam so I could serve hot dogs to teenagers." "But you have both your legs." "That's what I said, I did not lose a leg in Veitnam..." BWAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
