David Bowie will be the focus of a new upcoming segment of the popular Reelz “Autopsy” series. New details reveal that the iconic singer led a bizarre and dangerous lifestyle in the years prior to his death according to Radar Online reports.
The Reelz series, “Autopsy: David Bowie” airs Sunday, June 17 at 9:00 p.m. The new details reveal that Bowie was trapped in a world of drug addiction and self-destruction before his terminal cancer diagnosis. As previously reported by Blasting News, musician and actor David Bowie died tragically on January 10, 2016, at the age of 69 after an 18-month battle with liver cancer.
Music Journalist Lesley-Ann Jones stated on the new Reelz documentary that for a period of time before Bowie’s death he survived on a bizarre diet of “red peppers, cocaine, and milk.” This, according to Reelz, Psychologist Dr. Linda Papadopoulos is “eccentric” behavior that reveals all the classic signs of a serious eating disorder. Dr. Papadopoulos calls the behavior pattern a “need for control.”
David Bowie‘s cocaine habit, however, was an entirely different set of problems and after more than two years of addiction, it appeared that David would never shake his demons. Sadly, Bowie’s terminal liver cancer was discovered by doctors only three months before his death. Following the devastating news, David Bowie decided to keep the news of his terminal cancer from his fans.
On the Reelz series, forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter shares with viewers what he believes may have led to David Bowie’s deadly cancer. He will also reveal how, and why Bowie kept his terminal disease a secret. The new investigation into David Bowie‘s life and death promises to let fans take a more in depth look into the private side of David Bowie.
“Autopsy: David Bowie” airs Sunday, June 17 at 9:00 ET/ PT on REELZ.
