Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins had ten different substances in his system when he died – including marijuana, opioids and antidepressants, Colombian officials have confirmed.

Preliminary results of the urine toxicology test found he had ingested THX (Marijuana), tricyclic antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and opioids, the Attorney General’s Office said.

Officials said on Twitter: “The National Institute of Forensic Medicine continues to conduct the necessary medical studies to ascertain the cause of death.
