A Reason for the death of Samantha's boyfriend:

His untimely death’s cause was a speedball he had that night at the club which turned out to be a lethal mixture of two deadly drugs given the fact that Phoenix had an issue of addiction with such drugs. After he had taken the drink down his throat, he started to vomit and collapse on his chair.

That night he was accompanied by his younger brother Joaquin and his younger sister Rain whom he met in the bar. In the book released in 2013, “Last Night At The Viper Room” it was claimed that the ambulance was called on time, Phoenix could have been saved, but instead, his younger brother guided him out the club saying everything was under control until Phoenix got into a seizure and fell on the ground. The book described Phoenix’s friends and brother as ‘young, scared, and they didn’t know what to do.’

The sight made Christina Applegate break down in tears as she came out of the Viper Room and Samantha while watching her boyfriend suffer broke down as she was hopeless. His younger sister Rain tried to stop the seizure by sitting on Phoenix’s chest after which Joaquin called the 911 and begged for help saying,

 ‘Please come, he’s dying, please.' 

Phoenix was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and later he was declared dead at 1:51 am. Many of his fans were shocked to hear the news of the untimely death of River, and many of them were seen mourning the passing of the actor.
