Davis died at exactly 11:03 PM on September 11 at the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, where he was incarcerated ... according to sources and the Solano County Coroner's Office. A cause of death was not released.

As we previously reported, Brian was detained Saturday night after he tossed a chair inside the watering hole ... and video showed the moment chaos erupted. Zach was eventually arrested for disorderly conduct.

Corie Walsh rambled to police about McDonald's and started singing a tune from "The Wizard of Oz" after she allegedly killed her child while paying close attention to the Lindsay Clancy trial.

Walsh, the mother of four in Illinois who is charged with murdering her son, talked to cops after her 2-year-old was found dead in the basement of their family home earlier this month ... and she told them she went to Mickey D's for a breakfast sandwich in the afternoon ... her attorney, Robert Kerr, reportedly told the judge.

That doesn't make much sense ... McDonald's doesn't serve breakfast in the afternoon.

What's more, Walsh's defense says she started singing "Follow The Yellow Brick Road" while talking to investigators.

Steve Ballmer is waving the white flag.

Brian and Zach Hickerson's brush with the law over the weekend was an unpleasant experience ... and now we're seeing just how unpleasant it truly was ... because we've obtained a new video of the brothers being detained by police in South Carolina.

In the 88-second clip, Brian and Zach are in handcuffs surrounded by police outside the Wild Wing Cafe in Greenville. Police say they responded to the bar Saturday night after the Hickerson brothers got into an altercation with other patrons. 

As you can see in the video, Zach is complaining that cops failed to arrest people who allegedly assaulted Brian. Zach also asks officers to take him to jail and then calls out to Brian that they're in this together.

7:56 AM PT -- Donald Trump Jr.'s wife, Bettina Anderson, says the Russian oligarch is a "dear friend" who "very generously hosted two nights of celebrations for us AFTER our wedding."

Bettina says only family members were invited to the actual wedding ceremony and the rest of the weekend's lavish festivities were "an extraordinarily generous wedding gift from a friend."

She added photos from the weekend and said, "Friendship doesn't require a political motive. Generosity doesn't automatically come with an agenda. And sometimes a wedding gift is simply a wedding gift."

Donald Trump Jr. apparently had one helluva wedding hookup ... because a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin reportedly bankrolled the lavish affair.

According to ProPublica, Russian businessman Umar Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars helping pay for Don Jr.'s extravagant May wedding to Bettina Anderson in the Bahamas.

The outlet reports Kremlev paid to rent out one of the private islands used for the celebration, where guests stayed and where a reception was held ... and he also allegedly covered other pricey extras, including the fireworks show.
