Exactly and what on earth would a man with such a beautiful family want to do something like this its just crazy!

[@JoeSmith-sq7ml]

At least don't shove them up your rectum. Then again, I am from the East Coast and was also not born in North America, so I it is unfair for me to comment on the traditions of those in California. Please stay there.

[@clue104]

If you have a wife and kid(s), you don't need a double life nor should your demons take over. He should've got help but that's neither here or there. May he rest in peace.

Damn, I mean what would make this guy even DO drugs in the first place?? Good job, good wholesome family, good peers. It’s mind boggling...

What a legacy he left! Bizarre guy

[@Bricklinsv1970]

He will be missed. He was very enjoyable to watch and made the mornings better for so many. RIP Chris

[@TheRenard10]

He's not the only person that died over drugs. I'm sure he knew better to stay away from them! 💊💊🚫

[@jamesdykes2968]

It isnt the drugs that make his death so, er, notable.

[@judyberends4586]

This is so difficult to understand .I use to watch him on all those channels . I never knew he did drugs . What a terrible thing to happen especially at this time of year

[@angels.1778]

Used to.

[@iashakezula]

I was in shock when I heard or rather saw the line “Remembering Chris Burrous” early this morning. And the more the shock from the possible cause of death. Was he depressed? Or was it foul play?

[@sahirygnobehi6448]

I said the same thing. Men that are depressed won't ever admit it... Cause to some of them it makes them feel less than😔😔

[@uiscepreston]

Um, see, yeah. You can find and read the autopsy report online if you want. But let's just say he lead a double life.

[@TheRenard10]

He was visiting a homophile motel. They were doing the wild thing. He had him take the pills. He vomited those, and and rushed to a hospital, where.. you know the rest

[@danny1988221]

And who was his friend that was doing all this drugs with him?

Meth

[@mikos1986]

This is LA...double standard lives of famous ppl

[@georgeschubert9652]

RIP Chris. He was great. The money Chris made, and to be at a Days Inn, should raise a few red flags though. The 5 hour tribute on Saturday morning was excellent, but the station should pump the brakes a bit until all the facts are in. I sure hope he WAS squeaky clean.

[@blacksilverchair3315]

"He consumed too many drug," wow, he went on a drug binge then.

This will TARNISH his name now that he has died. Just like Bill Cosby, he name is mud now. This is so so sad.. RIP.. People, just be honest on who you are and do not hide things.. This will not turn out well at all for the family.. RIP Chris.

[@owencrutcher493]

Cause of death; Methamphetamine Overdose. Circumstances are that he was in the motel room with a guy he had met on a dating app. They were doing Meth when he went into cardiac arrest. The man he was with, then called 911.

[@royalblood9381]

@@judasgoat1035 You're right but Facts don't care about Feelings . Chris died with a man's hand up his arse. Based on the report Chris had four previous encounter with this man.

Susan Kay people want to take “happy pills” or pain killers to numb their emotions instead of being internally strong and facing them. My great grandmother lost everything in the Great Depression and she never went on drugs. She got over it and raised her children.

I don’t care about him being gay. But the fact that he overdosed is just nuts! Ugh why do people think medication is the answer? Our ancestors were mentally stronger I think. They just dealt with their problems and got over it.

Burrows bit the dust

[@Fausto_Fauquer]

This guy was not the nice guy everyone makes him out to me. Chris grew up in my hometown of Patterson, California and I was told he was known to make some very nasty racist remarks against Mexicans in Patterson. He eventually got a job years later as a news anchor on Good Day Sacramento where he was known for making some troubling comments as well while LIVE on that program. Guys like this don't deserve to be remembered but rather forgotten. Crackhead Chris hopefully repented and accepted Jesus before he croaked.
