Shifty Shellshock’s cause of death revealed singer of Crazy Town – a band famous in Italy especially thanks to the hit Butterfly -, who was found lifeless on June 24, at the age of 49 in his home in Los Angeles. People revealed that the band’s manager, Howie Hubberman, confirmed that the death occurred due to a drug overdose: “Seth Binzer – the singer’s real name -, after struggling with addiction and the rapid success of Crazy Town with ‘Butterfly’, has never been able to reach a more effective level to deal with his addictions – the band’s manager told PEOPLE -. We all tried, but in the end we all failed, otherwise Shifty would still be here” he explained.
Hubberman would have been even more specific and again to the US magazine he explained: “The cause of death was a combination of prescription drugs and drugs purchased on the street. Shifty was a friend and really wanted to get back on his feet: unfortunately no one had the exact tools to do it, including me “. People writes, however, that there is still no official confirmation of the causes from the medical examiner: “The Los Angeles County medical examiner has not yet listed a cause of death for Binzer pending the return of the toxicology reports” yes reads on the magazine’s website.
Rumors of a possible overdose began circulating immediatelyalso because Shifty Shellshock had spoken, in the past, about his addictions to substances and had been the protagonist of programs such as VH1 Celebrity Rehab and Sober House. In 2012 TMZ wrote that he was arrested on charges of battery and drug possession, while ten years later he was the protagonist of another arrest on charges of drunk driving as Variety wrote, which also recalled that the singer had been transported to the hospital, again in 2012, after losing consciousness and falling into a coma.
