Scott Weiland’s Son Reveals Real Cause Of Death Of His Father

Noah Weiland, the son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, is pushing back on the official story behind his father’s tragic death. In a recent interview with Painful Lessons, Noah opened up about his own belief about what really happened — and it’s different from what’s in the reports.

Noah said:

“So, they all tried to write it off like, ‘Oh he overdosed.’
“And to be honest, I’m just going to be flat out. I don’t really like the woman who was once my stepmom but I will say that what she probably isn’t lying about is that, and that I would bet more than anything is that he had a heart attack.”

Years of Strain on His Body

Noah thinks the years of wear and tear on his dad’s body finally caught up with him. He explained:

“And because all the years of like abusing his body right it catches up.
“Eventually it’s like there’s only so much your body can take. He was about to be 50 and so I think it was a heart attack, basically. I mean I think that makes the most sense.”

While he doesn’t deny his dad’s past struggles with addiction, Noah insisted things were different in the final years. He said:

“The last years of his life, he wasn’t on heroin. He wasn’t on opiates. He was drinking, Xanax and was on Suboxone for like a long time which is like obviously a lot.
“And that shouldn’t be for anyone’s body’s consumption on the regular but the thing is like I still think he was trying. And he wasn’t just like doing it all like consistently.”

What the Official Report Said

According to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, Scott Weiland died from an accidental overdose involving cocaine, alcohol, and MDA. But Blabbermouth later noted Weiland had a history of cardiovascular disease — a point that supports Noah’s theory.

Scott died unexpectedly on December 3, 2015, while on tour with The Wildabouts. The band had been scheduled to perform in Medina, Minnesota, but the show was canceled due to low ticket sales. His bandmates found him unresponsive on the tour bus. First responders tried to save him, but he was pronounced dead at 48.

The 911 call transcripts captured the shock and panic of those final moments, painting a tragic picture of his final day.
