How did John Bonham die?

Asked by Beans4life (69points) December 12th, 2008

Alongside The Beatles and Aerosmith I’m a HUGE Led Zeppelin fan, and I know Jimmy and Robert are still alive but what happened to the world’s favorite rock drummer?

Pulmonary edema of the lungs-waterlogging of the lungs from his own vomit (from a massive ingestion of vodka). Since his band mates found him in that state, it’s likely that he passed out during that episode and choked/suffocated while alone.

From what I’ve heard, Bonham choked on his own vomit lying face up, drunk, passed out. Someone found him next morning. Tragic. His son follows his footsteps with playing the drums though.
