Darby Crash
In The End …
Even more appalling than his limited vocal range was his lack of timing. On December 7, 1980, Darby formed a suicide pact with his then girlfriend, Casey Cola Hopkins. They lay down together in her mother’s back room and injected themselves with the $400-worth of heroin they had bought with the last of their rent money. Crash died, Hopkins survived. Shortly after his drug-induced suicide in the garage of his mom’s home a deranged “fan” shot and killed John Lennon. Thus his death went completely under reported and unnoticed.
Casey Cola She later stated in an interview “there’s not a moment that I’m awake that I don’t wish that I had died that night.” Casey got her wish in 2013 when she died of a heroin overdose.
