It was no surprise that drugs and alcohol got him in the end. It's a very sad story for an outstanding, wonderfully talented man. He will be missed.

While it's not completely surprising... it's just... so FRUSTRATING....

hopefully now with the report out it will lay the wondering to rest and those around him can now remember the good times more than worry about the bad...

It is good that we know what happened.
So sad the end results, but I think that they were expected.

Thanks for the link. Not a surprise, but still so sad. I feel very sorry for his family.

Darn, as awful as some unknown health problem causing his death would've been, I'd rather it been that than drugs and alcohol....It's awful so many, especially so many young people, get caught up in that stuff, and that it is SO HARD to get out of it once you've fallen into it.

What can one say. It is so sad.
