John Entwistle died in a hotel room at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on June 27, 2002 one day before the scheduled first show of The Who's 2002 US tour. The number of the actual room in which he died has remained a closely guarded secret, ostensibly to prevent the room becoming a shrine/place of pilgrimage.
The Las Vegas medical examiner determined that death was due to a heart attack induced by an undetermined amount of cocaine. Though the amount in his bloodstream was not great, the drug caused his coronary arteries — already damaged by a pre-existing heart condition — to contract, which led to the fatal heart attack. Entwistle battled cocaine addiction through much of his adult life.

John 'Lightening Fingers' Entwistle died of a heart failure in Las Vegas. Some say drugs, probably was, I did not know the man personally so I cannot state that as fact.
He rocked the bass in so many Jazz,Rock and Progressive arrangements, that I do know, I have some LP's of him playing and jamming.

He did in 2002 from "a heart attack induced by an undetermined amount of cocaine. Though the amount in his bloodstream was not great, the drug caused his coronary arteries — already damaged by a pre-existing heart condition — to contract, which led to the fatal heart attack."

John Entwhistle died I think in 2002 in Las Vegas. He had a heart attack (I think) from overdosing on cocaine (I think).
