The report, released on Wednesday, states that Spink had a history of prescription drug abuse and was known to binge drink and "self-medicate with marijuana", reports variety.com.

He also had a history of sleep apnea, diabetes, anxiety and depression. He was obese as well, weighing 296 pounds, according to the report.
