Officials also noted Weiland had a history of cardiovascular disease, asthma and dependence on several substances, according to the report.

No longer with Stone Pilots, ABC10 says Weiland’s current band had been scheduled to play a show in Minnesota on Dec. 3, but it had been canceled due to poor ticket sales.
