FYI, Wikipedia on death of "Bon" Scott
On 15 February 1980 Scott attended a session where Malcolm and Angus Young were working on the beginnings of two songs that would later be recorded on the Back in Black album; "Have a Drink On Me" and "Let Me Put My Love Into You" with Scott accompanying on drums rather than singing or writing lyrics.[1] On 19 February 1980, Scott, 33, passed out after a night of heavy drinking in a London club called the Music Machine (currently known as the KOKO). He was left to sleep in a Renault 5 owned by an acquaintance named Alistair Kinnear, at 67 Overhill Road in East Dulwich, South London.[18] The following afternoon, Kinnear found Scott lifeless, and alerted the authorities. Scott was rushed to King's College Hospital in Camberwell, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. It has been contended that pulmonary aspiration of vomit was the cause of Scott's death,[19] but the official cause was listed on the death certificate as "acute alcohol poisoning" and classified as "death by misadventure".[20][21] As part of the funeral arrangements, Scott's body was embalmed by Desmond Henley;[22] it was later cremated and Scott's ashes were interred by his family at Fremantle Cemetery in Fremantle, Western Australia.[23]
Death by misadventure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A death by misadventure, as recorded by coroners and on death certificates and associated documents, is one that is primarily attributed to an accident which occurred due to a dangerous risk which was taken voluntarily. In contrast, when a cause of death is listed as an accident rather than a misadventure, this implies no unreasonable willful risk.[1] Misadventure is not a scientifically recognized cause of death; there is always a more direct cause although it may be unknown in certain cases. Misadventure is a form of unnatural death like accident, suicide, or homicide.
