Question:
Does anyone out there know if Joaquin Phoenix was with his brother River when he died?
I think he was four years younger.
Answers:
Actually, the bar...called The Viper Room on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, was owned by Depp.
River Phoenix died from a drug overdose in 1993 aged 23.
You're correct, Joaquin was born October 28, 1974 and River was born August 23, 1970.
I don't see a mention of Joaquin present at the moment he died outside on the sidewalk but, Married With Children star Christina Applegate was at the club that night and witnessed the seizures.
River's autopsy showed lethal levels of cocaine and morphine (heroin shows up as morphine, as the body metabolizes it), Valium, marijuana and ephedrine.
Here's a pretty thorough account of River Phoenix' life and exactly what happened that night at the club...
