Gracie, I agree he made some horrific choices but that doesn't alter the tragedy of a talented young man throwing his life away nor the pain those who know and love him are feeling. Some of us are stronger than others. We have our tragedies, but they make us strive to succeed in spite of them. Some are not that lucky. Their tragedies destroy them.
And golfing eagle, I agree that humor is a wonderful defense mechanism but is there need for a defense mechanism when tragedy befalls someone rich and famous? It is rare that these events truly affect us on such a level that we need to defend against our pain. Sorry, but I found many of the comments just mean-spirited. And please accept my sincere sympathies on your arm. As Robert Heinlein said, "TANJIT!" (There ain't no justice in this world.)
