They were doing “speedballs” — coke and heroin mixed and cooked in a spoon, and injected into a vein with a hypodermic. Deadly stuff. Cathy Smith turned him on to it, and was doing the administering.
Reading this entire story it was very sad, he had spiraled comp,Evelyn out of control, filthy surroundings, not bathing or shaving, food containers everywhere, cocaine piled up on table people just coming by and grabbing some WHAT A WASTE, SNL during that time was so funny the cast was just hilarious compared to today being absolute GARBAGE not funny AT ALL!!! Most of them died SO YOUNG!!!!
