Bobby Hatfield's Death Caused by Cocaine

Righteous Brothers singer Bobby Hatfield’s death in November was caused by cocaine and not just heart failure, according to the official post-mortem report.

Dr Richard Tooker, chief medical examiner for Kalamazoo County, Michigan, said Hatfield’s death was triggered by acute cocaine intoxication.

Hatfield, 63, died on November 5 just hours before a Righteous Brothers concert. He and his partner, Bill Medley, had hits like Unchained Melody and You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.

“This is a shock to me,” Medley told The Orange County (California) Register from his home in Newport Beach, California.

“I never saw him use cocaine. I knew absolutely nothing about it. If I had known, I would have said something to him.”

An initial autopsy found Hatfield had advanced coronary disease. A heart attack due to the disease was listed on Hatfield’s death certificate.

However, Tooker said a final cause of death was not determined until after toxicology reports were completed.

The death certificate will be changed to reflect cocaine as the cause of death, he said.

Tooker’s office received the report of cocaine intoxication on December 24, but he asked for the information to be released after the holidays out of respect to Hatfield’s family.
