Short story:
Jeff Porcaro, drummer of Toto, dies at the age of 38. Porcaro fell ill after spraying insecticide in the yard of his home in Hidden Hills, Los Angeles, California, USA, and died later that evening at Humana Hospital-West Hills. It is widely reported that his death came from an allergic reaction to the pesticide, but The Los Angeles County Coroner's office lists the cause of death to be a heart attack from the hardening of the arteries caused by cocaine use.
