Tragic Details Found In Tom Petty's Autopsy Report

A legend of rock and roll, Tom Petty formed his band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers shortly after his stint with a group called Mudcrutch failed to gain a following. Their first album was released in 1976, and it marked the beginning of an incredible career for the musician. Not only did his band put out 13 studio albums, but he had three of his own solo albums. Petty was truly a rock star to the very end. He sadly died shortly after going on tour for his band’s 40th anniversary. But how exactly did it happen? These are the tragic details found in Tom Petty’s autopsy report.

What was your favorite performance by Tom Petty?

All of the "issues" aside, the body of art that Tom Petty leaves us is more than most could accomplish in 10 lifetimes. RIP Tom, you were magnificent, period.

Pain. Mental issues. Addiction. Happens to far too many of us. At the end of the day, Tom Petty was and is a legend. He gave far more than he took. And he is sadly missed.

As the man stated: "you never slow down, you never grow old." R.I.P. brother. You lived your life on your terms. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's...Petty was a staple. I still go WAY back every time one of his tunes comes up. ❤️

Saw him at Forest Hills on the last tour. As a Nurse I could tell that it would be his last tour. He was clearly in pain. I think it was about keeping his word and going out with his boots on. There’s dignity in that. And even though he was in pain, he was doing the work that he loved. He was an amazing person. RIP, condolences to the family.

When a good musician and composer dies, the music carries on living. RIP Tom Petty.

It was so sad to find out that Tom Petty continued on performing with a broken hip because he didn't want to disappoint his fans and crew. My heart goes out to his family. Thank you Tom for the many years of joy and happiness you brought us.

I cannot imagine how this man suffered. How he survived as long as he did with such injuries, and coped is a testament to his strength and will. Love him. RIP Tommy Petty. Will never ever forget you

I had the unexpected pleasure of a surprise meeting with Tom Petty and his band during a meal break backstage. They couldn't have been more kind, thoughtful and decent people. I grew up listening to Tom and the Heartbreakers, and each album seems to remind me of different times in my life. He is greatly missed by fans everywhere.

[Bogey]

I still listen to him nearly every day. He's the soundtrack of my life.

[MrSmiley]

It broke my heart when I heard the news that Tom had died. And I hate that it was such a tragic death that I've lost too many friends to already. I never met him but having listened to his music so long it feels like I lost another friend. If you're in pain and you're taking that shit to cope please be careful, it's too easy to go push it too far, and nobody wants that.

[ginajennings]

Tom Petty had an amazing talent and he is deeply missed. RIP Tom.

[SpookMrsSpooky]

I'm crying. I still have not gotten over losing him. Rest In Peace, Tom Petty. God rest your soul.

[jerrys]

I am older than Tom Petty, but honestly I would say that he was the most influncial musician of my entire life. Tom Petty RIP.

Tom Petty was like a father figure to me. His music is all I had at times and he kept me company when I was alone. He is a LEGEND. Got to see him perform on May 25, 1994 and I'll never forget it

[christopherthomas]

It's been a rough few years we lost some rock icons. What's really sad is there not being replaced no one has that talent

[jeffreyparks]

And he didn’t disappoint his fans. Caught his final tour in Tampa May 2017. A true gentleman’s performance, back home where it all started. “And part of me you carry, Part of me is gone.” Thanks for the memories, from my youth to my 50’s, TP. 😢

Tom Petty was one of my father's favorites. 3 and a half weeks ago my dad went into sudden cardiac arrest after a heart attack at home. None of us in the family knew he was dealing with significant heart disease. Even though he was on disability he continued to work a few days a week doing lawn maintenance with his friend for cash to help my mother work less because of her own health related issues. This past Sunday he passed away after 5 days of being removed from a ventilator. My father never went to a doctor. He just pushed through whatever was bothering him. My father didn't drink, smoke or use drugs. He was just a couple weeks away from his 69th birthday. You never know when your time will come.

So sad. As a Brit, I was a late fan of Tom's - I fell in love with him when he played with the Travelling Wilburys, a band of internationally acclaimed musicians who had already left their mark on the world of rock so had nothing left to prove. They were such a fun, relaxed and mega-talented band. And Tom had the loveliest smile. I seem to remember reading that the legacy of a horrible childhood left him vulnerable to low self-esteem, hence the extreme drug use. I think Tom's parents have a lot to answer for actually.
