Suicide/OD, from the sound of things. So sad. Sad

Yeah. And in Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment, while she was out of town. Confused

Too bad. I liked him a lot.

I'm sad about that - mostly because of his hotness. Darn waste. I saw a really good interview with that Bon Jovi dude yesterday when he spoke about Britney Spears and how sad it is that she is so messed up when fame has given her so much. Why do the stars do it? As an ex-drug user I get filled with both pity and anger when I read stories such as this. I took drugs because my life was shit. I gave up drugs because they made my life shitter. Glad I didn't die on the ride!

I was just on the treadmill watching this unfold and i thought how sad such a handsome talented young man could wind up dead on the floor Then I thought of my own little boy and got all misty eyed

As tragic as this is these situations always reminds me that no matter how much wealth or fame someone has that never tells the whole story; and it's usually not something to be envious of.

Yup. Though a part of me can't help but think...even if they are living some personal hell, they have more means to find help than any of us. I'm sure we'll find out more of what he was dealing with in the coming days and weeks. It's very sad. He's one of those guys I predicted would be a star for many decades.

That's definitely the most tragic part--a little girl without a daddy. And I feel for his ex having to explain to that baby that daddy is gone forever. No one should ever have to do that. Sad

that is perhaps inappropriate for this situation, but quite funny, so i don't mind. when my wife told me he died, before knowing any details, i said, "it was probably the rancher that caught them in the movie." yeah, i'm going to hell. i hope it was simply an accident, but i doubt it.

As am I. It would have been a tragic loss to the RA community before you were even a part of it Claire. I love reading your stuff. Wink

Perfect example of how drug use can screw up a great life. I hope the tween population takes a hint.
