Taylor Hawkins: Colombian authorities release statement

Just hours after the Foo Fighters reported the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, local authorities are explaining what happened at the Bogotá hotel after an 911 call was called. An official tweet reads:
“Regarding the death of the American musician Taylor Hawkins in the city of Chapinero, which occurred this Friday evening, March 25th, we inform you: The city’s emergency department has received a report of a patient with chest pains in a hotel north of the City. An ambulance was dispatched to attend to the case. The medical professional handling the emergency indicated that they performed the appropriate resuscitation measures, but there were no signs of life and the patient was pronounced dead. The competent authorities carried out the removal of the body and carried out the investigations necessary for such a case. The County Health Department mourns the loss of this talented musician and drummer who will remain widely recognized internationally for his work. In addition, the company sends its condolences to the family, colleagues and supporters.”

US Embassy condolences

The US Embassy in Bogotá also tweeted Condolences to family, friends and fans pronounced. The Colombian Newspaper However, “El Tiempo” has statements released by the Colombian police. The article states: “A preliminary police report states that ‘the cause of death has not yet been determined, according to relatives the death could be linked to the use of narcotics.'” As the investigation into the case is ongoing and no official police report has been published, such statements are pure speculation and should not lead to hasty conclusions. It is likely that investigations are still needed in every direction to clarify the tragic circumstances.
