Corinne Bailey Rae’s husband is dead

March 24th, 2008 // 43 Comments

The 31-year-old husband of Grammy Award winning musician Corinne Bailey Rae, Jason Rae, was found dead Saturday in a London flat of a suspected drug overdose. E! Online reports:

According to British media reports, police have arrested an unidentified 32-year-old man for allegedly “supplying controlled substances.” He was subsequently released on bail … No word on his more famous wife’s whereabouts or whether she was with him when he died. An autopsy was inconclusive and police are currently waiting on the results of toxicology tests before making a final determination on cause of death.

I’m not waiting for the toxicology results, I’m just gonna call it: this was a drug overdose. I probably should’ve used a picture of the guy but, let’s be honest, most of you probably don’t even recognize his way more famous wife Corinne. And yeah, I could probably be a little more sympathetic, but it’s not like the guy got hit by a truck while pushing a little girl out of the way. Overdosing on drugs is about as tragic as dying while trying to juggle handguns.

    ohhhhhhh poor poor fella, it’s so sad, another junkie that OD and leaves his poor poor girlfriend alone, wait 2 weeks or less and she’ll find a replacement.

    Let’s praise him for his effort in making this world a better one by removing his presence out of it.

    Whats with the “nig” and “negro” comments. You people need to show some respect for other people. No matter how he died she is still in mourning and nothing about it is funny. And you did make a huge deal about Anna and Heath.

    Agreed #31.

    Forget the crap about mourning.

    What’s with the racist bile, though? I thought we were pretending to be more enlightened than previous generations.

    It’s pretty funny how this blogger of the superficial (dont care enough to know his name) will hate on someones husband for dieing of a drug overdose because he’s “nobody” yet heath ledger died the same wa and he shows nothing but respect & condolence. Definately shows how sad this dude is. And how bad he needs to be liked. Insensitive asshole.

    Alcohol’s a drug you arrogant fuck. Do you know how manny kids die from alcohol poisoning? That is exctly the same situation, do the kids deserve it, yeah? Not everyone had your fuckin upbringing. Whilst were at it lets rule out sympathy for cancer victims that smoked as a child, or any time in their lives, or knocked about with smokers, yeah, them cunts were askin for it i suppose?
    You are a rude fuckin kid, i actually enjoy your light level arrogance, but i think that comment went too far, in fact it was fuckin disgusting.
    Shame on you!
    Prick!

    And all the snide commenters need gathering up puttin on an island and then fuckin nuked! What sort of site is this? Do you not edit comments that cause serious offence? I wont be visiting this site again exept to lauch and advertize a potition for anyone that would like to join me in dragging this nasty snide site through the courts. think about that. And your “facts” are incorrect. You make me sick, you posh little fuck! I’ve only just realized but this site is like a chat room for twisted fuckin nazis, disguized as a half decent girls gossip page. Censor your nasty facist followers, or you is getting sued! Check with your lawyers or legal team or whatever, you have a responsability which is being neglected.

    @26 “Negroes will be negroes.”

    Except in this case, the “Negro” (saxophonist Jason Rae) was white.

    Not that race is even RELEVANT in this matter … just noting that your assumption is wrong.
