What medication has cocaine in it?  No sarcasm, I've just never heard of 
that.  Besides, the coroner didn't say a trace of cocaine, he said a 
significant amount, yet not approaching an overdose.  I'm thinkin John had 
strippers AND did coke.  In fact, I'd be surprised if it wasn't the strippers 
who brought the coke.  It's the rock and roll lifestyle, I know, but John 
should have been smarter so close to the tour.  I guess he figured that he 
was going to live his life as he always did rather than change to add years 
to his life.  There is something to be said for that, I suppose.  Maybe what 
happened to Keith, dying while trying to get in touch "with the straight and 
narrow,"  influenced John not to compromise how he wanted to live his life 
just to live longer.  Maybe he's in heaven rocking with john lennon, keith 
moon, and george harrison.  Now there is a power band.  I think this band 
would out-do pete, roger, ringo, and paul.  Just a thought.
