Bart Starr called for tougher drug laws after disclosing that his son died from cocaine.
“Drugs do kill,” Starr, a former Packer quarterback and coach, said in a news conference in Green Bay, Wis. “He only had traces, and yet the traces killed him.”
Bret Starr, 24, was found dead last week in his home in Tampa, Fla. A Sheriff’s spokesman in Hillsborough County, Fla., said: “The official ruling from the medical examiner is cardiac arrhythmia due to acute cocaine indulgence. It’s not necessarily an overdose.”
