David even attempted suicide back on November 19, 2003, by consuming 300 Xanax pills with crack cocaine. Besides, his wife Cassie Berman protected her even though he was totally uncontrollable. Talking about his drug addiction, he stated in an interview in 2019,

"I was only 100% sober for Tanglewood Numbers. Touring made me a daily pot smoker. It was the only way I could cordon myself off from the fuss, and endure the boredom. I was a daily smoker from 2006–09. Alcohol on its own doesn’t appeal to me much."

Although the reason for his death is not out yet, one could assume he's drug addiction might have taken his life. Nevertheless, his fans and followers are mourning his death and wishing his friends and family to be strong.
