DEATH OF BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN'S COUSIN IN KANSAS CITY HOTEL BLAMED ON DRUG
OVERDOSE

Bruce Springsteen's cousin, whose death in October prompted the singer
to cancel his Sprint Center concert, died from an accidental drug
overdose, according to autopsy results released Tuesday.

Lenny Sullivan, 36, died from acute amphetamine and heroin
intoxication. An ambulance was called just before 4:15 p.m. Oct. 26 to
the InterContinental Hotel at the Country Club Plaza. When emergency
crews arrived, they found Sullivan dead on his bed.

Sullivan was the assistant tour manager for Springsteen and was in
charge of luggage for the band and crew.

Fans got word that the concert was off about 90 minutes before the
7:30 p.m. show. Refunds were offered.
