The book reported that singer-songwriter Jewel tried to save Hsieh in August 2020, after visiting his home, which she allegedly found covered in dog feces and wax from burning candles.Īccording to the biography, after seeing Hsieh emaciated in the backyard surrounded by canisters of nitrous oxide, Jewel spoke to his staff and urged them help the troubled tech exec. The documents, which also noted that Hsieh had begun chewing on cigarettes as his health declined, state that Hsieh first began using ketamine in November 2019 before openly experimenting with nitrous oxide, KTNV reported.Īdditional details about Hsieh's drug abuse emerged earlier this year, after the publication of a biography on the former Zappos CEO. The documents shed light on Hsieh's erratic behavior and deteriorating mental state, exacerbated by worsening abuse of ketamine and nitrous oxide, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and KTNV reported.Īccording to the documents, the month before his death, Hsieh, who was 46 at the time, was taken to the hospital after he said he believed he was "crystallizing." He remarked that he was "in a simulation" and didn't know "what's real and what's not," per KTNV.
The latest filings emerged from an ongoing legal battle between Hsieh's family and business associates over the tech exec's multimillion dollar estate. New court documents filed this week reveal more harrowing details about the tragic final weeks of late Zappos founder Tony Hsieh, who died in a house fire in November 2020.
