Former Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr died in Utah

Starr appeared on the third season of "Celebrity Rehab" back in 2009 -- and was arrested last month for felony possession of a controlled substance. Salt Lake City cops say he had 6 Xanax pills and 6 Opana (painkiller) pills when he was busted.

DRUGS KILL, WE ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING. MIKE WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN. HE TOLD US OVER AND OVER. HE NEVER WANTED TO LIVE ANYMORE AS HE HAD TOO MUCH GUILT AND NEVER WORKED THROUGH IT.

Sad news, not familiar with alice in chains but watched him on rehab." He was stubborn. charlie love you. this is a sign. to you. dont be stubborn.

*** I WONDER HOW DR. "EXPLOITER" DREW FEELS WHEN THE MAJORITY OF HIS SO-CALLED PATIENTS DIE AFTER A STINT WITH HIS SO-CALLED REHAB FACILITY THAT AS OF TODAY STILL DOES NOT HAVE RUNNING HOT WATER. SHAME ON DR. DREW AND HOW HE EXPLOITS PEOPLE - JANICE ****INSON WHO JUST FINISHED HIS SHOW WAS OUT PARTYING THE OTHER NIGHT THE SAME AS USUAL - HE SHOULD STOP THE SHAM REHAB FACILITY AND LET PROFESSIONALS DO THE WORK.
