Who Killed River Phoenix? Hollywood Sacrifice?

On the night of his death in October 1993, River arrived at the club with Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante to meet up with actor brother Joaquin Phoenix, sister Rain and girlfriend Samantha Mathis.

River drank a 'speedball', a lethal combination of heroin and cocaine, dissolved in a drink which meant it took a long time to absorb into his bloodstream.

The autopsy report found that River's blood contained a staggering eight times a lethal overdose.

Gavin Edwards’ account coming down from Samantha Mathis sounds more credible. From: “Last Night at the Viper Room: River Phoenix and the Hollywood He Left Behind”, he didn’t take that speedball knowingly. “A guitarist friend” handed him a cup and told him, “Hey, Riv, drink this — it’ll make you feel fabulous.” River didn’t know what was in it, but since he had taken this friend to rehab twice, he could guess it wasn’t ginger ale… In the drink was a dissolved speedball: a mixture of cocaine and heroin. River at once felt unwell, “What did you give me? What the fuck is in it?” he shouted. To calm himself down, River took some Valium, which didn’t seem to do the job. Soon he had vomited on himself and the table. He then slumped in his chair, unconscious.” People recall then seeing him bumping into tables and being wasted in the club; and when it became increasingly harder to breathe, he was taken outside, and was soon convulsing on the sidewalk. Apparently, it took almost 30 minutes for Joaquin (then Leaf) to finally call the ambulance at the suggestion of a bouncer who came back outside to see them still sitting there. Apparently Johnny Depp had no telephone in his office. Or isn’t it more likely that everyone at the club wanted to immediately distance themselves? Had someone told the ambulance driver about the lethal overdose handed to River in a cup, he could have possibly received a life-saving shot of Narcan. It wouldn’t have helped for an overdose of cocaine however. In any case, he was ushered out of the club and left to deal with it. His sister sat on his chest and legs to “stop his seizures”.
