Coroner’s Office: Alexander McQueen Really Went Out in Style

I know, I know. Bad pun.

Toxicology reports have come back regarding fashion designer Alexander McQueen’s premature death and it looks like the dude was totally serious about ending his life. Law enforcement officials claim that McQueen took down a cocktail of cocaine, sleeping pills and tranquilizers — all of which were said to be a “lethal combination.”

That’s not even counting the whole hanging thing, either.

The Coroner’s office received information from close friends of McQueen’s stating that it was hardly surprising the famed designer went the way that he did — he was said to be extremely depressed over the loss of his mother and claimed that work-related stress had overwhelmed him to a breaking point.

This entire situation is so sad. It’s always such a tragedy to lose a fabulously talented person, (and one that was rumored to be so wonderful, too) but it’s far worse to lose them to the demons of depression.

Again, RIP, Mr. McQueen. I know you’re with your mama and I hope you’re at peace now, too.

  • Never heard of the fucker. He was a fashion designer?
    For who, John Deere? Cuffed blue jeans?
    Why was he depressed, did Wal Mart discontinue his line?

      • And you do?

        If cuffed blue jeans is fashion, then Grandpa Jones from the
        Grand Ole Opry is a fashion icon. HEE HAW !!!!!

    • No, he made amazing clothes under his eponymous label. FYI most designers don’t dress very well. Like Marc Jacobs. Surely you know who he is. Now the article clearly explains that he was depressed over his mother’s death and the stress of his fashion line. Any more questions?

      • “Marc Jacobs”, he’s married to Jennifer Lopez, right?

        HAAAAAAAAAA…….HAAAAAAAAAA…….

        his fashion line couldn’t have been any good if he was stressed over it. It’s a shame his mom died, but she was 75, did he expect her to live forever. People with money, and still to cheap to get some counseling. Where was his family?

      • Mechanics have shitty cars and carpenters have fucked up houses. And now here’s Roy.

  • I thought that he’d had a break-up in his recent past. That actually would seem like the coup-de-grace, if it’s true. A person can get through a lot if they have a loving mate.

  • Wow that headline is in bad taste, and not in a secretly snigger after reading it kind of way. Sarah, you just bummed me out :(

  • “I know you’re with your mama….” How does that figure? If you believe in that kind of thing (unless his mama offed herself) he sure won’t be in the same place as her.

  • “Again, RIP, Mr. McQueen. I know you’re with your mama and I hope you’re at peace now, too.”

    LOL!

    What a spurious, contrived, and insincere fucking sentiment that is.

    really, how fucking stupid. LOL!

  • “I know you’re with your mama and I hope you’re at peace now”

    He was gay. Wouldn’t he be happier with his dad?

  • I like a man who takes a “belt and suspenders” attitude and tackles a problem head on.

  • wow. this entire post and the comments just depress me. kudos to making me never want to come back to evilbeet. i miss the days of wendie and just poking fun at celebrities, not trivializing a highly traumatic and morbid event such as a suicide. that. is. all.
