		</div><p>A Colorado man who survived the 1999 Columbine school shooting and later became an advocate for fighting addiction has died.</p>
<p>Routt County Coroner Robert Ryg said that 37-year-old Austin Eubanks died overnight at his Steamboat Springs home.</p>
<p>There were no signs of foul play. An autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death.</p>
<p>Mr Eubanks was shot in the hand and knee in the Columbine attack that killed 12 classmates and a teacher, including his best friend.</p>
<p>He became addicted to drugs after taking prescription pain medication while recovering from his injuries.</p>
<p>He later worked at an addiction treatment centre and travelled across the US telling his story.</p>
<p>Mr Eubanks’ family says in a statement that he <em>“lost the battle with the very disease he fought so hard to help others face”,</em> KMGH-TV reported.</p>
<p>The family added: <em>“We thank the recovery community for its support. As you can imagine, we are beyond shocked and saddened and request that our privacy is respected at this time.”</em></p>
