Scott Baio on Erin Moran’s Death: ‘You Do Drugs or Drink, You’re Gonna Die’

Scott Baio had a blunt response to former “Happy Days” co-star Erin Moran’s death on Monday, telling “The Bernie and Sid” show on WABC radio: “For me, you do drugs or drink, you’re gonna die.”

[...] in his radio interview Monday, the 56-year-old actor said he was a “little shocked but not completely shocked that this happened” after news broke Saturday that Moran had died in her in Indiana home.

The official cause of death was confirmed on Monday as “complications of stage 4 cancer.”

Toxicology test results are still pending, but no illegal narcotics were found at her home.

Having been familiar with the dark side of Moran’s life, Baio drew his conclusion of what might have led to her premature death.

“I’m sorry if that’s cold, but God gave you a brain, gave you the will to live and thrive and you gotta take care of yourself,” Baio told the radio hosts.
