Eagle's Randy Meisner's wife was shot dead in the head. It was an "accident", but sounds suspicious.

I wonder if she took him to his limit, one last time.

Quote:Randy Meisner’s wife was shot to death at the couple’s home, according to multiple news sources, but the founding Eagles bassist has been cleared of all charges.

Authorities now say Lana Rae Meisner was killed on Sunday (March 6) in Studio City, Calif., in a bizarre accident, according to TMZ. Randy Meisner, 69, told police that his wife was shot as she searched for something in the closet, RadarOnline reports.

Law enforcement had been to the Meisner residence earlier in the evening, several news outlets say. Lana Rae Meisner, 63, allegedly called 911 to report a domestic violence incident, according to TMZ, which also claims that she accused Randy Meisner of “acting erratically.” Roughly an hour and a half later, Randy Meisner called to say his wife had gone into another room when he heard a gun shot, according to multiple reports.

RadarOnline quotes an unnamed law enforcement source who describes a grisly scene. According to that source, Meisner told the police that his wife “was stumbling around, looking for something in a closet where there were two guns. She was looking for something in the hall closet, and Randy told cops one of the guns was falling and in the process, Lana Rae caught it and it ended up blowing her head apart.”

TMZ earlier reported that Meisner was “acting in an altered state” when police arrived, and apparently was taken to the hospital. “Randy seemed to be in shock,” Page Six says, “and wasn’t even able to acknowledge that Lana Rae was dead from a gunshot wound.”

The Meisner’s marriage made headlines last spring when Randy Meisner refuted a TMZ story claiming Lana Rae wanted to kill him. She’d been accused in that same report of keeping Randy in a “state of near-constant inebriation” because “he is easier to control when he’s drunk.” Later, in June, Randy was placed under 24-hour care by a temporary conservator following a court hearing in which Meisner was alleged to have threatened to shoot hospital staff and also to end his own life by taking all of his medication.
Meisner left the Eagles in 1977; he was earlier in Poco.

Its localized in one spot of the gut. I kind of wish I knew what it looked like but the doctor never showed me. Surgeries sound like a crapshoot, since I here it can move. I take a ton of supplements too, especially zinc and folate.

kbell, I have crohn's as well. 12 years, damn! I've been diagnosed for 3 years. Good to here it's only a mild case and under control.

Was gonna make a thread, but I figured the number of guys here that have it would be pretty low.

Mine's been pretty stable as well. I saw pictures of mine, they looked like craters on Mars. Nasty! Doctor has me on a few azathioprine daily, and have not had any complications since.

Worst part was pre-diagnosis; drinking/eating anything non-slowly led to immediately throwing up food. Your stomach has no room for anything, and the smell from the gastro-emissions were terrible, and embarrassing in public.

The hole from the stomach to elsewhere in the digestive system can close if crohn's is not treated with medication, which then calls for necessary surgery to re-open the stomach - here's to ours staying mild and medicated!

Strange that you brought this up today. I just saw my GI today for my biannual checkup. Scheduled a colonoscopy at the end of the year. First time in 3 years. You get them often with chrohns.

Great that your under control. I didn't have the vomiting issue though or holes. Just scarring. Are the holes fistulas your talking about?

It was around this time of the year that I got diagnosed at the age of 20. With some changes I've been making in my diet lately (more veggies, more water, less sugar, less carbs), I searched the forum in hopes of finding someone else blessed with chronic stomach ulcers.

Colonoscopy; I've had one myself back in 2009. It was for a bout of colitis I had, foreshadowing future digestive tract issues. When you shit blood, there's obviously a huge problem. I remember nothing of it because of heavy sedation (but those meds made everything feel pretty good when I regained consciousness, ass invasion aside).

Yes, I have the scarring, but the hole I'm referring to is the Pyloric Sphincter, that is, the hole that leads from the stomach to the rest of the digestive system, the intestines. Also get monthly blood work, and the biannual checkups you mentioned as well.

This will describe it for everyone, showing both a normal stomach, a stomach with crohn's, and a stomach with ulcerative colitis:

So your ulceration is near the stomach opening? You might want to see if you have an h pylori infection too. I get gerd from time to time so I use betaine HCL which raises stomach acid, and it subsides. Could be placebo effect but I will do what works.

They also do removal of guts and colostomy bags if its extremely severe.

He had Crohn's disease, right?

I don't know, but I was thinking before all this that he was aging very poorly and did not look healthy.

Contrast with Bruce Springsteen who is just one year younger:

Smoking will age most people.

Frey was a heavy smoker for decades while Bruce is apparently always avoided cigarettes ...

Good contrast in Frey/Springsteen photos, a lot of belly fat and what might be a drinker's flush. I believe Alcohol and smoking are cancer multipliers, together they increase cancer risk more than the sum of separate influences.

I've found losing weight gets harder and harder as I get near my 60s, to the point I really have to be working only a little bit to have the energy to work out enough and low enough stress not to overeat.

Right now relaxing/losing weight after a contractor's stint in a hostile environment is my central life task. Many people have good enough genetics to have a long, very enjoyable cruise from 60-75 or so -- IF you didn't beat up the car on the way there.

Think how much free time you waste if you check out early--those years you're not working if you got some good finances happening earlier.

Yeah probably closer to the end of the stomach, but it's all throughout really.

Thanks for mentioning h pylori, high correlation as a precursor to stomach cancer, next time I see my GI I'll ask him about that.

Have not used betaine HCL or any other meds nor had gerd, but worth keeping in mind just in case. Some high acidic foods cause stomach cramps/pain though. Non-smoker, and eventually no more alcohol, especially if conditions worse - say no colostomy bags!
