Apparently a drug overdose.

I am not sure if it matters of what is said here because it isn't Britain, but the British Press have way overstepped the mark recently in reporting on people who haven't actually been charged. And of course, after they have been charged it is Contempt of Court, so I for one will be a bit careful.
I do believe that Public Opinion can affect Trials, but this is not meant as a critisism of anyone posting here.
