KTLA anchor Chris Burrous still dead — Chapter 2

The first thread is now full.

by Anonymousreply 602February 23, 2019 5:20 PM

The weekend program that Chris hosted is now a fish-fest, featuring four (4) women, and not a sausage in sight. Their cackling is enough to drive anyone up a wall. If they're still there on Saturday, I'm permanently switching over to Channel 7.

I read after Dale Earnhardt Sr’s death, the family does not have to have the cause of death released. It can be kept confidential.

My guess is that in this case, foul play is not suspected, so the family probably has the right to have all the details suppressed.

I don't think Dale died in LA County.

details will come out...eventually.

His birthday was January 11, 1975....so its cumming up...this Friday.

should be interesting to see if he is mentioned or remembered on KTLA 5 Los Angeles

i have a feeling his body was already cremated.

because to have the body in cold storage just seems cruel...though they did that with the body of Sherman Hemsley (from The Jeffersons and Amen fame)

people are still giving money to both 2 gofundme accounts for Chris Burrous.....

Gio knows something, but I don’t believe for one bit that black light was there to check roach motel cum stains for a vignette.

The Glendale police said his companion was “known “ to them. The immediate assumption being it was either a dealer or pro but couldn’t that refer to a public figure as well? Might explain why mystery man’s info is still somehow protected. How come Henry DiCarlo was the only anchor who didn’t twat out some 40 character tribute? And anyone else wonder how he got such a loooong vakay right after the holidays, especially when they were one man down already?

I liked Chris, he made me laugh at some of the savage stuff he did. Like just up and left the newscast while on air cuz he was craving Jack In the Crack and made anorexic Liberte eat a French fry, lol. Now that was shocking. Watching back on some segments over the past year you can now, in hindsight suss out some red flags. He casually inserted references to heroin, black tar, coke, searching for a vein, drug smuggling, and 12 step programs that were out of nowhere and unrelated to the topic at hand. Popped nicotine gum live on air because he completely spaced and forgot he was on live tv. Also fidgeting with his hands like a tweaker to the point Lynette had to put her hands on top of his to stop him. Once Dayner, when talking about how annoying he was, said how nice it was that Chris wasn’t there as she didn’t have to be beside someone sniffling, sneezing, and tapping his feet under the desk all day. Coke much?

R15 Death certificates are public information in California. While the current one issued for Burrous probably says "deferred," in the cause of death line, but a revised one will eventually be released after the autopsy that will list 1) cause of death, 2) conditions leading to death, and 3) other underlying conditions that initiated the events leading to death.

The same thing happened in the death of Tom Petty. The original certificate said "deferred," but the final death certificate came out a few months later.

Counting her windfall of money, no doubt. We're talking over a hundred thousand, just in funeral gift money.

Then there's the insurance money from not only his life insurance, but from his bank accounts, etc. Banks usually give a few thousand in insurance money, as do other companies that you do business with.

There's also his 401K and pension from KTLA.

This bitch is going to score at least a half million dollars or more.

R55, I think KTLA is still trying to figure it out. On Saturday morning, Eric Spillman sat in with the ladies, for the first time ever. It definitely felt like they were testing him to replace Burrous, and they all seemed to have a blast. I think it will be one of those two -- Spillman or Mester (who has filled in for Burrous a couple times previously). KTLA isn't going to go with an all-female lineup on a permanent/regular basis, and looking at the other men on the KTLA roster, they seem like the only two viable candidates.

I like them both, but if I had to be place a bet on who I THINK will get it.....I'd give the edge to Eric Spillman. Just because he's been at KTLA for 17 years (vs. Mester's four), and has that longer connection with KTLA viewers. The Weekend show is ALL about the viewer-interaction (emails & tweets) since there typically isn't much "news" to fill in those 6 hours.

R71 et sordida scortas, there is another simple reason why people get high. It feels good. And there's a type who is more likely to enjoy this than others. Some people are wired neurologically and physically to get a buzz easily. They get it from praise, from food, from sex, from hot baths, from massage, from music, or extreme sports and excitement, and drugs and alcohol. So they enjoy getting high. And they get really high easily. I'm not one of these people. I don't get very buzzed as a rule, so none of these things appeal to me much. But I understand others are different. You don't need to be broken. You only need to have this propensity, and lack the good judgement to refuse to indulge it in situations where it will get you into trouble, like OD-ing in a suburban motel.

Then I got nauseated and sorta shaky. I asked the guy if he put drugs up his ass. He said no. I explained I couldn't fuck him anymore because I had what I believe was meth on my cock, and it made my dick soft. Then he admitted that he had.

Years ago a guy in Dallas offered to put drugs up his ass for the benefit of my dick. I remember he offered my choice of coke or K. I turned him down for both drugs and sex.

The funeral-memorial was 17 days after his death. .. For many, I would think the period of being overly distraught would be over by that time. .. Also, don't Asian cultures generally discourage the outward (public) display of emotions?

Harvey knew Chris, for sure:

Anyone who supervised Chris would tell you at the time that he was far from a model employee. Chris, sometimes, pushed the envelope too far — when TMZ launched their TV show in 2007, one of their first stories focused on a controversial Good Day segment where Chris visited a homeless encampmentand gave a transient woman McDonald’s and beer.

When a husband or wife unexpectedly dies, the surviving spouse struggles to cope with the emotional grief of their loss.

Not only are they trying to handle their sadness about living without their life partner, they face another challenge that also is a very important component of their life.

What do you do about financial survival?

The question arose two weeks ago when KTLA news anchor Chris Burrous died at the age of 43, leaving behind a wife, Mai, and a 9-year-old daughter, Isabella. The circumstances of his death are still being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department, but two GoFundMe accounts were established by his sister-in-law, Rosemary Do Silverstein, and news reporter Gigi Graciette, from Fox 11 News in Los Angeles.

Viewers questioned why the family needed financial help because of his work in TV news, but as one of his colleagues, Morning News anchor Chris Schauble pointed out during a broadcast, Burrous’ estate may have to go through probate and his wife and daughter will most likely need money for expenses until this is resolved.

Today Sunday February 10, 2019 its only been 44 days since Chris passed...left...never came back.

so we still got 32 days to 40 days before we hear what the final report is.

i have a feeling it will be released on a Friday evening after 6pm so no one notices it.

How can this be accidental if Meth is involved?

by Anonymousreply 300February 22, 2019 9:47 PM

Former KTLA anchor and reporter Chris Burrous was found to have died from methamphetamine toxicity, according to a Los Angeles county coroner’s report released Friday.

Burrous, who was 43, died on the afternoon of Dec. 27 after being found unresponsive at a Days Inn in Glendale with a male companion, according to authorities.

The Glendale Police Department initially said they were investigating Burrous’ death as a suspected overdose.

Other contributing factor to his death, according to the coroner’s office, included hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

His death was ruled an accident.

Burrous, who first joined KTLA in 2011, was a beloved figured at the station, anchoring the KTLA 5 Weekend Morning News and reporting on weekdays. His Burrous’ Bites segment, where he showcased hidden foodie gems across the Southland, was a popular fixture on the program.

Burrous is survived by his wife Mai and 9-year-old daughter Isabella.

He was laid to rest on Jan. 11, what would have been his 44th birthday.

From The Blast -- an offshoot of TMZ:

KTLA anchor Chris Burrous died from an overdose of crystal meth while engaging in vigorous sexual activity with a man he met on Grindr.

According to the L.A. County Medical Examiner, Burrous died from methamphetamine toxicity after being found unresponsive in a Glendale motel on December 28. The manner of death is listed as accidental.

According to the death investigation, officials say Burrous worked his shift at KTLA, and then left early for the day complaining he felt ill.

Instead of going home, he set up a meeting with a man at a motel in Glendale for an afternoon of hardcore sex. The two allegedly met on Grindr and had hooked up multiple times in the past.

When the companion arrived, Burrous allegedly answered the door fully nude, and had set up the room with “DJ style” lighting, S&M toys, lubrication jelly and a massage bench. The two men allegedly engaged in various forms of sexual activities, including anal and oral sex.

At some point during the meeting, 43-year-old Burrous allegedly inserted a “rock” of crystal meth into his anus and stated it was supposed to make him “high and loose”

He then allegedly gave his companion a syringe full of GHB and a bottle of Gatorade. The two became intimate again, and Burrous allegedly inserted another “rock” of meth into his anus before putting on a mask while his companion allegedly inserted his hand into Burrous’ backside.

The report states Burrous also used “poppers,” an alkyl nitrite inhaled that produces a euphoric effect.

Burrous began getting fisted while laying face down on the bed, and allegedly told his companion he was feeling fine until the man noticed him making a grunting noise, and flipped him over to realize Burrous had vomited inside his S&M mask.

The man called 911 and began to perform CPR on Burrous until emergency responders arrived. He was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead in the emergency room.

During the death investigations, officials were told Burrous, who leaves behind a wife and young daughter, did not have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, and apparently only used drugs recreationally.

Burrous’ companion was cooperative throughout the investigation and no foul play is suspected in his death.

Story developing…

Meth toxicity? Putting meth up the anus is a standard thing for methheads but how much did he put up there to die of meth toxicity?

As the report said, his heart disease was a factor too.

Meth make the heart go fast, which likely led to a heart attack. Plus he was taking poppers which would have caused his blood pressure to drop if he was taking nitrates for his heart disease already. The foaming at the mouth is related to a poisoning, which I guess meth toxicity could do. He also used G which can have a similar effect.

I assume this wasn’t the first time he went to this extreme with his partner. Was the amount of meth much higher than usual?

“Later on, in the encounter Mr. Burrous inserted a second rock of methamphetaminethrough his anus and put on a mask and dusted the filters with ‘poppers,’” the coroner’s report said, and continued: “His companion inserted his hand through his anus.

by Anonymousreply 441February 23, 2019 3:59 AM

Meth purity always changes. The major supplier to California is Mexico and the product could have come from one of several labs, with output different based upon the cook's experience and chemicals used. On the way from producer to customer, it may pass through several hands, some of which may cut it with any number of chemicals, some toxic. Meth will definitely raise the blood pressure level of the user.

Poppers is, or is a derivative of, amyl nitrite, which are used by EM technicians to lower the blood pressure, usually having a heart attack casualty sniff the fumes of the popper, to take pressure off the heart and send it to the body's extremeties. The fumes stimulate the brain and the person becomes light-headed. The effects of poppers also release tension on the anus, making it easier to insert something like a fist, for instance.

With the meth raising pressure and poppers lowering it, the heart takes a beating as the chemicals push and pull on it. The throwing up indicates there was perhaps food in the stomach. Not having examined the body, I can't tell for sure what happened. Nausea is one of the symptoms of consuming too much meth, so it's likely that 2nd rock pushed him over the top. To add on, if his male friend had already begun fisting him, there is definitely pressure pushing inward to the lower intestines. It may have pushed the stomach a bit, adding to the dilemma. It appears several things could have, in unison, created the mess.

R449 I doubt very much he could have gone home to family and acted "normal," especially if the meth was stronger than usual, or he had plugged more than he usually would. The emotional and physical aftermath of being fisted also has to be taken in account. Here's the thing: you want to take enough of the drug to be fucked up and enjoy the event. The poppers effects go away within a couple of minutes after removing the vapors from your nose. Meth on the other hand lasts several hours. I doubt he would have been able to drive his car away. He may have planned to stay the night at the motel. Meth metabolizes at the rate of 50% every 10-12 hours.

R458 It's reported that men who are fisted will get to almost a spiritual closeness to their bodies, unlike anything they've felt before. There are a couple of hundred nerve endings in that part of the body. The pressure and feeling of a fist and part of an arm churning inside is enough stimulation to overload the nervous system. And those feelings become even more intense with the addition of a stimulant like meth.

R461 In a couple of reports I read, Burrous was said to have taken a face mask, saturated it with the liquid poppers, then put the mask over his face. It would have insured that every time he breathed in, he would have gotten high each time he did, until the chemical had evaporated.

Using poppers is very common when fisting. Not only does it give a head high, but it also relaxes the anus muscles enough to allow the entry of the fist smoother.

Ben Affleck might make an interesting Chris Burroughs.

I wish we had more information on the CPR-assisting foster. I guess he’s a blank slate for casting.

I wonder how many of his coworkers knew the depths of his double life, or participated in it with him.

Their whole "let's remember how he was, not how he died" thing makes me think this wasn't too big a secret around the newsroom. Maybe just the timing and circumstances were surprising.

Maybe you need to see a therapist if need a mask, DJ lighting, meth, GHB, and fisting to get off.

Fisting is on page 20 of the coroner's report.

The wife's odd statements re on page 21:

He said he was going to the meeting, but at some point she realized he was missing and called the station (wouldn't the station have called her? Wht would she know he was missing if the station already thought he left for feeling ill?)

Waffling on drugs and risky behaviors, and noting the meeting was important for his career.

The news of how he died and even his death for that matter have affected me. Those dramatic events have stayed in my thoughts and even woke me up last night - I was a big fan.

It's so so sad that everything that happened has been relayed to the world. We, especially, know how it is to have secrets and how devastating it can be if they got out.... I was very very surprised with the detail of the report and like someone else stated, couldn't they just have said overdose and left it at that...sort of seemed like the coroner was out to get him or he had it out for gay people1

I pray that his friends and family (especially his daughter) have the strength to get through this - the world can be a vicious place when it's against you!

As someone who used to use meth, booty bumps, G, poppers, anal play are all pretty commonly done together.

R558, doing meth with G is common. G also amps you up in small doses. Reving down and sleepiness happens only in small doses.

r306 was rewritten by The Blast early this AM:

KTLA anchor Chris Burrous died from an overdose of crystal meth while engaging in vigorous sexual activity with a man he met on Grindr.

According to the L.A. County Medical Examiner, Burrous died from methamphetamine toxicity after being found unresponsive in a Glendale motel on December 28. The manner of death is listed as accidental.

According to the death investigation, officials say Burrous worked his shift at KTLA, and then left early for the day complaining he felt ill.

Instead of going home, he set up a meeting with a man at a motel in Glendale for an afternoon of hardcore sex. The two allegedly met on Grindr and had hooked up multiple times in the past.

When the companion arrived, Burrous allegedly answered the door fully nude, and had set up the room with “DJ style” lighting, S&M toys, lubrication jelly and a massage bench. The two men allegedly engaged in various forms of sexual activities.

At some point during the meeting, 43-year-old Burrous allegedly inserted a “rock” of crystal meth into his body.

He then allegedly gave his companion a syringe full of GHB and a bottle of Gatorade. The two became intimate again, and Burrous allegedly used another “rock” of meth before engaging in more sexual activity.

The report states Burrous also used “poppers,” an alkyl nitrite inhaled that produces a euphoric effect.

Burrous allegedly told his companion he was feeling fine until the man noticed him making a strange noise, and flipped him over to realize Burrous had vomited inside his S&M mask.

The man called 911 and began to perform CPR on Burrous until emergency responders arrived. He was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead in the emergency room.

During the death investigations, officials were told Burrous, who leaves behind a wife and young daughter, did not have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, and apparently only used drugs recreationally.

Burrous’ companion was cooperative throughout the investigation and no foul play is suspected in his death.

R561 R562 The GHB was put into a bottle of gatorade and given to the ‘companion,’ according to the autopsy/police report ( I forget which—police report is the last couple of pages of the autopsy report.)

Also recovered at the scene was electrical tape and a knit ski mask. And “glass pipes with brown residue” so they were smoking something—probably the meth. Is GHB ever smoked?

And all the equipment was Chris’s according to the hookup guy. Chris rolled up to that moted room and set up the whole scene complete with massage table, lighting and sound system. Holy fuck. Wonder how ling he had been doing this? And as someone else asked, how did he keep all this shit hidden from wifey?

R577, when you're dead, you have no more right to privacy. That said, I think coroners sometimes soft-pedal their results to spare the feelings of the living. Years ago, a friend of mine died of a massive overdose involving multiple drugs. The coroner thought it was intentional, but my friend's girlfriend successfully persuaded him to classify the death as accidental.

The guy he was with knew that if he cut and run he would be found and faced charges for leaving a dying man in a hotel room. He had to stay and face the music and it was a wise decision. The CPR might be more that he wanted CB to live and walk away. No one knows. No harm,no foul, But when that didn't work he called 911 and waited.
