ODB was on drugs? Naw!
The death of rapper O.D.B. was deemed an accident by the medical examiner, who said Wednesday that he died from the combined effects of cocaine and a prescription painkiller.

O.D.B., whose legal name was Russell Jones, died at a Manhattan recording studio Nov. 13. He died ``as a result of intoxication by the combined effects of cocaine and Tramadol, a prescription painkiller but not a narcotic,'' said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the New York City medical examiner's office.

"The manner of death is an accident,'' she added.

The District of Columbia Council voted 7-6 Tuesday night to approve legislation that would finance construction of a ballpark. But it contained a provision that could cause the baseball commissioner's office to reopen the search for a long-term home for the franchise.

The legislation was amended to require private financing for at least half the stadium construction costs, a provision not contained in the September agreement between baseball and Washington Mayor Anthony A. Williams.
