The investigation continues into the death of Taylor Hawkins.
The drummer of the alternative rock group Foo Fighters had consumed cannabis, opiates and antidepressants before dying on Friday night in Colombia in a hotel in Bogota, the Colombian prosecutor's office announced on Saturday.
"The toxicological analysis reports ten substances so far found in Taylor Hawkins' body, including THC (cannabis), antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opiates," the prosecution said.
Forensic pathologists continue to work "for the total clarification of the facts which led to the death" of the musician.
Shortly before dying, the drummer complained of “chest pain”.
Called for help, a general practitioner tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate him, according to the town hall of Bogota.
Member of the group since 1997
The Foo Fighters, one of the most notorious alternative rock bands on the American scene, often acclaimed by critics, winner of several Grammy Awards and author of big hits, were to play this Friday in Bogota on the occasion of the Estéreo Festival Picnic.

The group also canceled a concert scheduled for March 27 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
