SocraticGadfly: Auggie Busch, this Bud's for you!

Auggie Busch, this Bud's for you!

Looks like August Busch IV, former head of the Anheuser-Busch brewing empire before it was acquired by South Africa's InBev, has a potential new spot of trouble with the law.

As in a GF dead of an "accidental" OD of OxyContin. With coke in her bloodstream, too. At his home. (And, no, contra the story, I don't believe Heath Ledger's OD was accidental, either. No more and no less than deaths from alcohol poisoning are.)

Anyway, note the "new." Another GF of his died in the early 1980s in a car crash, in a vehicle Busch IV drove.

Add in the fact that, last year, Busch went into rehab for depression and unspecified other issues.

Of course people are interested!

This is St. Louis royalty, in essence. Other than McDonnell family, Ralston-Purina heirs or Stan Musial, nobody else is in the same camp.
