John Belushi was a man of pleasure. He was rumored to partake in drugs, binge eating, partying, and alcohol quite a lot. Belushi was reported to use heroine, take pills, and he was frequently drunk.
He was found dead at Chateu Marmont after Catherine Smith injected him with a speedball (a mixture of heroin and cocaine). Bill Wallace found the body, and attempted to revive him. Unfortunately, it didn't work, so they called a coroner.
They found out later that he had asked Catherine to inject him with a speedball, and when she admitted that she injected it she was arrested because she had administrated the speedball to Belushi.
Smith was originally arrested for first degree murder, before being convicted of involuntary manslaughter instead.
Belushi was buried in Massachusetts, and his tombstone reads "I may be a=gone but rock and roll lives on." If only he had been a little more cautious with his life, Catherine may have never have given a speedball shot to him.
