«Breaking News» Lucille Ball of I Love Lucy had recreational drug 'poppers' in her system at the time of her death

Lucille Ball of I Love Lucy fame was taking amyl nitrite - which goes by the name Poppers on the street and is popular sex aide - before she died in 1989 at the age of 77. 

That's the claim being made by forensic pathologist Dr Michael Hunter during a preview of the Reelz TV show Autopsy, The Last Hours of … that was shared on Wednesday.

The doctor also seems to think that a 'mystery illness' when the Hollywood star was only 17-years-old played a part in the deterioration of her health later in life.

Lucille Ball was taking amyl nitrite - which goes by the name Poppers on the street and is popular sex aide - before she died in April 1989 at the age of 77, it has been claimed; seen in January 1989 just three months before she died

The redheaded beauty is best known for her title role in the popular TV series I Love Lucy which ran from 1951 until 1957 

Autopsy: The Last Hours of… Lucille Ball premieres Sunday at 8 pm ET on Reelz. 

'Lucille Ball died of a rupture of the aorta. This tells me how she died, but not what led to such extensive damage to this critical blood vessel,' Hunter said in a preview of the series.

The red-headed comedienne was 'using a drug that became a popular sex aide,' it is stated in the teaser.

'The street name for amyl nitrite is poppers. Poppers are a strong smelling inhalant often associated with sex,' said Hunter.

'But it’s original purpose was as a prescription drug to treat pain in the chest.'

His theory: TForensic pathologist Dr Michael Hunter talked about her drug use during a preview of the Reelz TV show Autopsy, The Last Hours of …

He added, 'As early as 1984, four years before her death, Lucille Ball was using this inhalant to ease pains in her chest and heart. And that could be a warning sign of already established cardiovascular disease.'

And her health started to crumble two years before she died. 

'My investigation has discovered reports of a major setback for Lucille, some two years before her life ended,' he claimed.

'And I want to find out what impact this had on her health.'

When Ball was 17 she was on the verge of breaking into Hollywood.

At 18 she had a small, uncredited role in the movie Bulldog Drummond. In the late 1930s she was making several films a year including Room Service and Panama Lady. Then in 1951 her blockbuster series I Love Lucy hit the air and ran for six years. 

Cystic medial necrosis was a contributing cause to Ball’s death, said Hunter.

She complained of chest pains just a week before she died.

Ball was taken to the hospital, where cardiologist Yuri Busi diagnosed 'a dissecting aortic aneurysm.'

'The slow tearing of Lucille’s aortic lining that had presented itself to doctors eight days earlier had ended in what reports refer to as an aortic blowout,' he said.

But surgery could do only so much.  

Her aorta ruptured a week later causing cardiac arrest.

'But what led to this damage? Lucille’s death certificate states cystic medial necrosis as a contributing cause to her death,' said the doctor.

Hunter went on to explain, 'Cystic medial necrosis is the breakdown of muscle, collagen and elasten in the large blood vessels throughout the body. When they lose this elasticity and support, it makes them more liable to tear and rupture.'

The love of her life? In 1940, Ball met Cuban-born bandleader Desi Arnaz while filming the Rodgers and Hart stage hit Too Many Girls. They wed soon after. Seen in 1953

Fame was good to them: Their hit show won them an Emmy award; seen in 1953 

But Lucille appeared to be in great shape just weeks before she passed.

'I want to investigate if there were any previously unknown causes of her heart problems,' he then said. 

'Could a mystery illness that she contracted when she was just 17 years old have played a part in the death of America’s most loved Lucy?' he asked.

In 1940, Ball met Cuban-born bandleader Desi Arnaz while filming the Rodgers and Hart stage hit Too Many Girls. They wed soon after.

Together they co-starred in I Love Lucy and had two children: Lucie, 67, and son Desi Jr., 66. The couple divorced in 1960. 

Her second husband Morton died in 1999.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
