Yes, her son did die of an overdose. He did heroin and cocaine. She has been on Larry King, and she talked about it. There's a transcript of it. I remember watching that episode of it.

I second that!! Anyone over the age of 16 or 17 that does drugs is a freak'in loser. With having PSA's on TV, Newspapers, radio, internet, and everywhere else there is no reason to be caught up in any of these addictions
Recreational drugs!! just another reason for people to think doing drugs is fun and O.K!! well it's not O.K unless you want to die!! -

I am a mum of two but do not own my children. My job is to raise my children to make informed decisions. I do not control my children either. They aren't robots, they are free-thinking individuals who can turn to me if they ever have any problems
I was gonna let you beep me, but I got my rag, and I know how you hate a mess -

Barbara Eden ALLOWED her son to do drugs?????
Are you out of your mind? Have you never heard of accountability??
Go to any AA, or NA or GA meeting and you will learn that an addict has to own up to his or her actions.
Stop blaming parents. That had to be the stupidest (if there is indeed such a word in the english language), the stupidest thing I have ever read. Go and get educated on addiction. -

Her book indicates he was also doing steroids
at the time of his death. He was participating in competitive body-building, and was cheating at it. (I know most people will say that everyone cheats on that - even if true, that doesn't make it right.)
