It's been 30 years since the tragic death of River Phoenix, known for films like 'Stand By Me.' Over the years, friends and family have shared memories of the actor and that fateful night.
It’s been 30 years since the tragic death of River Phoenix, the young actor best known for his roles in 'Stand By Me' and 'My Own Private Idaho.' Phoenix was just 23 years old when he died in the early hours of Oct. 31, 1993, after collapsing outside The Viper Room in West Hollywood, California. The Los Angeles County coroner’s office revealed the sudden death was caused by 'acute multiple drug intoxication' involving lethal levels of cocaine and morphine.
Phoenix’s girlfriend, actress Samantha Mathis, was also with him in his final moments. 'I knew he was high that night, but the heroin that killed him didn’t happen until he was in the Viper Room. I have my suspicions about what was going on, but I didn’t see anything,' she told The Guardian in 2018.
