Tony Slattery 'killed by cocaine' as pals lament cruel irony of his death Comedian Tony Slattery's previous expensive cocaine and alcohol addiction is likely to have caused his death despite years of being clean, an expert has claimed.
In a 2019 TV interview, he said at low points he would take 10 grams of cocaine and down two bottles of vodka each day.
Ian Hamilton, Associate Professor at the University of York, explained to Mail Online how cocaine and binge drinking can have long-lasting impacts on a person's heart.
He said at the height of Tony's addiction, if his words are to be true, he's been having around 50 units of alcohol a day.
While reiterating the fact he'd always encourage people to abstain and receive help, Mr Hamilton believes the toll may have already been taken on the comic's body.
