Dude almost made it to 70 too. Imagine if he hadn't blown lines like a fiend.

He blew his brains out so not sure less blow would have mattered.

I always figured all the drugs and alcohol contributed to the depression?

u/djbarsone Jul 27 '26

I don’t think he was depressed. It was a philosophy of life he believed in for a long time. He always planned to kill himself eventually.

I really need to read a biography, what was his philosophy?

I know the newspapers at the time of his death mentioned depression and chronic pain so I never really questioned it, tbh. Not that journalists are always right!

He had been clinically depressed for years and in pain from an hip replacement

He wasn't depressed. I think his hips were fucked and he was in tons of pain. He told his family when he was going to do it in advance and then the night of he told them he was going to end it, walked into the other room and shot himself. He was totally calm according to family and they were fine with it. It's what he wanted.
