Members of his band The Wildabouts told officers that the frontman had been drinking heavily and taking several types of drugs in the days leading up to his death.

The report says Mohley entered Weiland's tour bus bedroom, and tried to shake him awake. When that failed he removed a pillow from under his head, then realised the singer wasn't breathing. He called drummer Joey Castillo for help before calling for an ambulance. Mohler said on the line: "I think he's dead. He's not moving. He's stiff. He's hard as a rock right now. There's no breath, there's no nothing."
