Dave Gahan's Overdose - 28th May 1996
A digest of small newspaper snippets breaking the news of Dave's overdose at the Sunset Marquis Hotel, Los Angeles.

The lead singer of British rock band Depeche Mode was found unconscious in his Hollywood bungalow yesterday after injecting a drugs overdose. [1]

David Gahan, who last year tried to commit suicide by slashing his wrists, was rushed to hospital after a mystery woman phoned paramedics.

The 34-year-old star was later charged with drug offences. Last night he was languishing in a police cell, unable to immediately raise his £6,000 bail.

[1] - Whoops! The Guardian article is correct - Dave was at a hotel when this happened. The reporter may have got confused with the August 1995 suicide attempt, which was at Dave's house.
