RockMyMonkey previously reported HERE concerning the death of former ALICE IN CHAINS bassist MIKE STARR. A few days ago it was released (CLICK HERE FOR FULL STORY) that he was mixing drugs shortly before his death.

Mike had been using methadone recently in an effort to get sober -- but he had also been taking medication to battle anxiety issues he had been suffering from since his arrest last month.

It was said that Mike was doing a pretty good job managing his medication -- but according to Mike's roommate, Starr was "mixing" the meds Monday night .. just hours before he died.  

Starr's roommate added, "Mike was a beautiful person who was fighting to stay sober ... I am going to miss him greatly."

It has been rumored that he was living in Salt Lake City while working with TRAVIS MEEKS on a relaunch of the band DAYS OF THE NEW, but at this time we cannot confirm this.
