Sullivan was found dead at his home in Huntington Beach, California on December 28, 2009, by his wife Leana McFadden, at approximately 1 pm. Huntington Beach police said the death was from natural causes, according to the scene. The autopsy results were inconclusive. The toxicology report confirmed that James suffered a "serious poisoning given the combined effects of Oxycodone, Oxymorphone, Diazepam / nordiazepam, and ethanol.

Oh poor dude, so he killed himself with overdose? Or was doing all these drugs and passed away?

First two substances are analgesics to relieve pain, "the Diazepam is to combat anxiety and ethanol is the poison you put into the body by consuming alcohol. A lethal mix multiplier effects because the drummer suffered from cardiomegaly, ie, that his heart was larger than normal. In fact, this point has been noted by the coroner as a "condition factor" to his death. Which means that he died on medication and no drugs.
