So it seems like it’s more a report to see what drugs were not in his system at the time of death.

He was about to do a tour with Drowning Pool and Powerman 5000 around the time of his death.

There was also always hope that somehow Static-X will reunite at some point and release more music. Alas, this will now never happen.
