Rod Scurry? Christ he died a terrible death IIRC.

Drugs will do that to you



/ oh yeah


On October 29, 1992, responding to a call from a neighbor, the Washoe County, Nevada Sheriff's Department found Scurry outside his home complaining that snakes were in his home, crawling on him and biting him. He became violent and stopped breathing when deputies attempted to put handcuffs and leg restraints on him. He was taken to Washoe Medical Center and remained on life-support systems until his death a week later. His official cause of death was a cocaine-related heart attack.

I worked with a guy in the late 90s whose brother was the current pirate parrot. So of course I had to ask him if he could get me any coke lol.


He obviously had heard that joke a million times, but he did tell me how much his brother made being a sports mascot and I was floored.

Yep back then in ‘99 or so he was making almost $75k a year. It was pretty much a part-time job too, but he was also committed for appearances at birthday parties, community functions etc.
