Whether his death was an accident or suicide has never been resolve. On 25 November 1974, Drake died from an overdose of amitriptyline, prescribed antidepressant he was 26 years old. On completion of his third album, 1972's Pink Moon, he withdrew from both live performance and recording, retreating to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. Drake suffered from depression, particularly during the latter part of his young life.
