Mike Starr 44, former Alice in Chains bassist and 'Celebrity Rehab 2009' participant, was found dead in Utah on Tuesday, TMZ.com reports. Police tell the website the rocker's body was found in a Salt Lake City home around 1:45pm. The cause of death is still unknown.
He 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.
Starr was the original bassist of Alice in Chains and played on their first studio album, We Die Young. During his stint on 'Celebrity Rehab,' Starr confessed he was kicked out of the rock band in 1993 because of his drug problem.
ABC News 4 in Salt Lake City is reporting that Starr's body was found at 1:42 p.m. in a residence at 1986 South Richards St.
Born in Hawaii, Starr played with AIC from the band's formation in Seattle in 1987 until he left in 1993. He also appeared on the 2010 reality TV show "Celebrity Rehab" with Dr. Drew Pinsky on VH1. Dr. Drew posted a message moments ago on his Twitter, which read: "Devastating to hear of Mike Starr succumbing to his illness. So very sad. Our prayers are with his family."
