probably the best advice i can give is, like me, have a flunky on hand to 'revive' you.
or a family member or something
^^this^^ Its a rum ol' phenomenom of which I know nothing other than whats already been mentioned.
But it truly baffles me why stars such as Carridine and Hutchence - who will have PAs and flunkys who'll probably be aware of their err pecadilos - dont set-up a code system before indulging. A simple phone call before bagging up, using a harmless sentence such as 'Morrisons-a-go-go' and then the PA/flunky calls the star's room early the following morning.
If there's no answer they go round and let themselves in. They take off the bag and belt and place said orange back into the fruitbowl.
Then they place the corpse onto the bed and surround the body with a collection of empty JD bottles and a copious splattering of coke. They hire a prostitute to pretend to sleep alongside him who wakes at a pre-agreed time and screams the place down.
Hey presto, a rock n roll death rather than a legacy of universal giggling whenever the person's name is mentioned.
