24 hours seems a little quick for a toxicology report, no?

 

No.

The toxicology testing performed after a person's death is known as forensic toxicology testing or postmortem drug testing.

 

That's different from clinical toxicology, according to the College of American Pathologists. This is the drug testing an emergency roomdoctorwould be likely to order, for instance, if a patient shows up with signs and symptoms of drug overdose or abuse.

I'm sure a more detailed report will come later.  That can take 4-6 weeks, and often takes that long due to the backlog in the lab, not due to how long it takes to run the samples.

Remembering Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters’ Charismatic Drummer, in 5 Live Performances

 

Taylor Hawkins was a through-and-through rock drummer who never shied away from showing his enthusiasm. The longtime Foo Fighters drummer died on Friday at the age of 50, shocking the music world and drawing tributes from everyone from Stevie Nicks to Questlove. “The Foo Fighters family is devastated,” the band wrote in a statement that night. “His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever.”

Hawkins defined his style of playing with impeccably polished drum fills, breathable verses built around staccato hits, and a toothy grin that never left his face. Dave Grohl later referred to Hawkins as his “best friend and partner in crime” in his memoir The Storyteller, and his other bandmates credit him as the force behind Foo Fighters’ now legendary live shows. “He came into a band that was pretty scrappy... and then was like, ‘Hang on a second, what if we become good,’” Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel told Rolling Stone.

In the process, Hawkins’ drumming work became a pillar of modern-day alternative rock, and his radiant charisma would rub off on everyone he met along the tour route. To remember one of today’s great rock drummers, here are five definitive live performances.
