.Obviously it was gutter journalism,because Stathi was suspended in the past for testing positive to recreational drugs,the paper took it on their own to state it was a drug overdose.He actually had a big night drinking with some racing mates at his home.When he finally went to sleep very drunk his wife put the pillow under his head in the lounge room,she seems to think he suffocated as he was to affected by alcohol to wake..
No moralising from me, who had his fair share of alcoholic binges and ‘recreational’ adventures when younger and dafter, but sadly the "gutter journalism" would appear correct: he died from a (legal) drug overdose
